The analgesia-enhancing component of ingested amniotic fluid does not affect nicotine-induced antinociception in naltrexone-treated rats.
Ingestion of amniotic fluid and placenta by rats has been shown to enhance opioid-mediated antinociception but not affect the nonopioid-mediated antinociception produced by aspirin, suggesting specificity for opioid-mediated processes. However, enhancement by the active substance(s) in amniotic fluid and placenta (POEF, for placental opioid-enhancing factor) of antinociception produced by other...
متن کاملElectrical Stimulation of the Ventral Lateral Periaqueductal Gray Induces Antinociception in Rats
Despite the central role of general anesthesia in modern healthcare, the frequency of anesthesia-related morbidity resulting from the toxicity and non-specificity of anesthetic drugs remains high. Among the key behavioral states of general anesthesia is antinociception (reduced sensitivity to pain). Within the nociceptive pathway in the brain and the central nervous system, the periaqueductal g...
متن کاملKetamine induces anterograde and retrograde amnesia in rats
Introduction: The N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors, which have been implicated in memory formation, could be noncompetitively blocked by ketamine. The present study examines the short term effect of ketamine on induction of anterograde and retrograde amnesia in male rats using Morris water maze (MWM). Methods: Male N-MRI rats were randomly divided into nine experimental groups. MWM stud...
متن کاملPlacenta ingestion by rats enhances y- and n-opioid antinociception, but suppresses A-opioid antinociception
Ingestion of placenta or amniotic fluid produces a dramatic enhancement of centrally mediated opioid antinociception in the rat. The present experiments investigated the role of each opioid receptor type (A, y, n) in the antinociception-modulating effects of Placental Opioid-Enhancing Factor (POEF—presumably the active substance). Antinociception was measured on a 52 jC hotplate in adult, femal...
متن کاملEnvironmentally induced antinociception and hyperalgesia in rats and mice
Stress can enhance and inhibit nociception depending on the situation. Thus, simply shifting the context from the elevated plus maze (EPM) which has been shown to produce stress-induced antinociception to a different environment could produce drastic and rapid changes in nociception. The present experiment tested this hypothesis by assessing nociception in rats and mice during and immediately a...
