摘要
The present study investigated the effect of intraperiaqueductal grey injection of nociceptin/orphanin FQ (N/OFQ) and an antagonist (Nphe(i))nociceptin(1-13)NH2 on the hindpaw withdrawal response to thermal and mechanical stimulation in rats. N/OFQ (5 nmol) significantly decreased the nociceptive thresholds in both tests and 1, 5 and 10 nmol of (Nphe(i))nociceptin(1-13)NH2 significantly reversed this effect in a dose dependent way. Our results demonstrate, that N/OFQ has a nociceptive action, possibly through inhibition of PAG neurons. This effect is blocked by the antagonist (Nphe(i))nociceptin(1-13)NH2 probably via ORL1 receptors in the periaqueductal grey. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science BY. All rights reserved.
