Abstract:

Neuropathic pain involves injury or alteration of the normal sensory and modulatory nervous systems to produce a set of symptoms that are often difficult to treat. Previous study indicates that saffron has anti-inflammatory properties that may be mediate by neurotransmitter system. In this study we determine the role of cannabinoids receptors in peripheral and central effects of Crocin on behavior neuropathic pain responses in Chronic Constriction Injury (CCI) model in Rat. In this experimental study we used of adult male Wistar rats (220 to 250 g). CCI was induced by setting four loose ligatures around the siatic nerve. In part 1, after nerve lesion, injections of vehicle, Crocin (60 mg/kg) or Win21212 (0.1 mg/kg) as an agonist and AM251(0.1 mg/kg) as an antagonist of endocannabinoid receptors, were injected intraperitoneally in separate groups and continued every day for 2 weeks. In part 2, two weeks after of nerve lesion, injections of vehicle (0.5&micro;l), Crocin (6 &micro;g/0.5&micro;l), Win21212 (0.1 &micro;g/0.5&micro;l), AM251(0.1 &micro;g/0.5&micro;l) were done in intracerebroventricular (ICV) in separate groups. Pain behavioral responses including mechanical allodynia (von Frey filament testing) and thermal hyperalgesia were measured at day 14. Data analyzed by Two-way ANOVA and tukey test. Results indicated that central or peripheral injection of Crocin decreased thermal hyperalgesia and mechanical allodynia. Also central or peripheral Co-administration of Win21212 or AM251 modulate of analgesic effect of Crocin significantly (P<0.05). Findings shown that Crocin have analgesic effects that probably mediated by endocannabinoid mechanism. &nbsp;

P68: Effects of Saffron Extract and its Active Constituent Crocin on Development of Neuropathic Pain in a Rat Model of Chronic Constriction Injury

Neuropathic pain is caused by a lesion or disease affecting the nervous systems, and is generally manifested as spontaneous pain, hyperalgesia, and allodynia. Previous study indicate that saffron has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, we investigated whether saffron and crocin, a major constitute of saffron, would infleuence on behavioral responses of pain induced by chronic constric...

Effects of Saffron (Crocus sativus L.) Stigma Extract and its ActiveConstituent Crocin on Neuropathic Pain Responses in a Rat Model of Chronic Constriction Injury

This study was designed to investigate the therapeutic effects of saffron (Crocus Sativus L) and its main constituent crocin on neuropathic pain behavioral responses induced by chronic constriction injury (CCI) in rats. Adult male Wistar rats (200 to 250 g) were randomly assigned into 5 groups: Sham + saline, CCI + saline, CCI+ saffron (30 mg/kg), CCI +crocin (15 mg/kg) and CCI + crocin (30 mg/...

Effects of co-administration of chronic curcumin and forced exercise on behavioral pain responses in the neuropathic pain model of chronic constriction injury in rats

Introduction: Neuropathic pain is a chronic pain that results from damage to the central and peripheral nerves. According to the previous studies, curcumin and exercise can be effective treatments for alleviating sensory neuropathic pain individually. Now the combined effect of chronic curcumin (Cur) and forced exercise on behavioral pain responses in the neuropathic pain model of chronic const...

Effects of combined chronic progesterone administration and forced exercise on behavioral pain responses in the neuropathic pain model of chronic constriction injury in rats

Introduction: Neuropathic pain is a chronic pain that results from damage to the central and peripheral nerves. According to the previous studies, physical activity or progesterone can be an effective treatment for alleviating sensory neuropathic pain individually. In this way, the combined effect of chronic progesterone and forced exercise on behavioral pain responses in the neuropathic pain m...

P59: Effect of Umbelliprenin on Behavioral Responses of Neuropathic Pain and the Expression of Inflammatory Factors in Chronic Constriction Injury Model of Neuropathic Pain in Male Rats

Despite extensive investigations, the main mechanisms underlying neuropathic pain development are still not fully understood and there is no effective treatment for that. So intensive research is being done for finding new, efficient analgesic drugs. 56 male Wistar rats (230&plusmn;30) were divided into 7 groups (n=8); control, sham, CCI and 3 Umbelliprenin groups (25, 50 and 100 microgram/rat)...
