Abstract:
The increased hind-paw withdrawal latency (HWL) to thermal stimulation and hind-paw withdrawal threshold (HWT) to mechanical stimulation induced by morphine were attenuated by intrathecal injection of 1 or 3 nmol, but not 0.3 nmol of the selective galanin antagonist galantide. The result indicated a possible interaction between galanin and opioids in the transmission of presumed nociceptive information in the spinal cord of rats with mononeuropathy.
