摘要
In rats treated with Evans blue (i.v.), electrical stimulation of the lumbar spinal nerves produced an extravasation zone in the skin. Stimulation of L(1) produced extravasation in the lower abdomen; that of L(2), in the cranial region of the hindlimb; that of L(3), in the ventral region of the hindlimb and the medial paw; that of L(4), in the lateral region of the hindlimb and the middle paw; that of L(5), in the caudal region of the hindlimb and the lateral paw; and that of L(6), in the caudal region of the hindlimb and the scrotum. Since the substance P antagonist FK224 inhibited the extravasation caused by stimulation of the sciatic nerve, the extravasation zones appeared to be related to antidromic activation of afferent C-fibers. Thus, a dermatome of afferent C-fibers was revealed in rats.
