the development of combination therapy is a coherent approach in severe pain treatment. the present study investigated the antinociceptive effect of pregabalin alone and in combination with tramadol in acute pain modeling. therefore, three groups of male mice received either pregabalin (1 to 400 mg/kg), tramadol (10 to 80 mg/kg) or their combination intraperitoneally. then latency time, maximum...

calendula of.cinalis (asteraceae) is widely used in traditional medicine as an anti-in.ammatory agent and has also been reported to have anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-viral activities.  sesquiterpene glycosides, saponins, triol, triterpenes and .avonoids are observed in its composition. the present study was designed to evaluate the antinociceptive effect of hydro-alcoholic extract of ca...

Microinjection of kappa opioid receptor (KOR) agonists into the rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM) attenuates mu-opioid receptor mediated antinociception and stress-induced analgesia, yet is also reported to have an analgesic effect. To determine how KOR agonists produce both antinociceptive and antianalgesic actions within the RVM, the KOR agonist U69593 was microinjected directly into the RVM...

Özet Amaç: Tek başına veya birlikte sistemik olarak verilen tramadol ve gabapentinin farelerde akut ağrıda olası antinosiseptif etklerini araştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Hayvan etik komitesinin onayı sonrası; 96 BALB/c albino dişi fare 12 gruba ayrıldı: (I) Enjeksiyon yapılmaksızın kontrol grubu, (II) salin uygulanan kontrol grubu, (III)-(IV) tramadol 10 mg/kg veya 30 mg/kg uygulanan gruplar, (...

Two highly selective mu-opioid receptor agonists, endomorphin-1 and endomorphin-2, have been identified and postulated to be endogenous mu-opioid receptor ligands. We determined the antinociceptive effects of these two ligands at the supraspinal level in mice with the tail-flick and hot-plate responses. The i.c.v. injection of endomorphin-1 and -2 inhibited the tail-flick and hot-plate response...

We tested the hypothesis that thermal tail-flick latency, a common measure of pain sensitivity in rodents, would be altered in lines of mice that had been selectively bred for high voluntary wheel-running behavior. Specifically, we predicted that the selected (High-Runner) lines would show decreased pain sensitivity relative to their control (C; randombred) lines, and would respond differently ...

The antinociceptive activity of the methanolic extract of the leaves of Feronia limonia Linn. (Family Rutaceae) was investigated using acetic acid-induced writhing model and tail flick test in swiss albino mice. The extract produced about 26.01% ( p< 0.01), 39.88% ( p< 0.01) and 57.07% (p< 0.01) writhing inhibition at the dose of 100, 200 and 400 mg/kg of body weight respectively, which was com...

Background: The use of natural compounds in relieving pain has been commonplace since ancient times and their is currently increasing. Objectives: Given that analgesic anti-inflammatory effects Kombucha have not studied, this study was designed to examine these vitro. Methods: In experimental study, rats were divided into four groups. control group received normal saline i.p the same amount dru...
