The present study investigates the antinociceptive properties of lupeol in models of inflammatory and post-operative pain, as well as its mechanisms of action. The effects of lupeol were tested against acetic acid-induced writhing, formalin test, carrageenan-induced hyperalgesia, and post-operative pain model. Cytokine levels were determined by ELISA. Mice motor performance was evaluated in the...

introduction: estrogen and progesterone are supposed to modify pain sensitivity. however, the actual role of each of these steroid hormones in this respect is not well known. plasma concentrations of these hormones show variation during estrous cycle. the role of alpha2 receptors in tonic pain has been pointed out. the aim of the present study was to investigate the agonist and antagonist effec...

introduction: anxiety is among the most common and treatable mental disorders. adrenergic and cannabinoid systems have an important role in the neurobiology of anxiety. the elevated plus-maze (epm) has broadly been used to investigate anxiolytic and anxiogenic compounds. the present study investigated the effects of intraperitoneal (ip) injection of cannabinoid cb1 receptor antagonist (am251) i...

To test for the relative contributions of the dopaminergic and serotoninergic systems in the striatum to the effects of d-fenfluramine, an indirect serotonin receptor agonist, we assessed the expression of Fos/Jun proteins induced by d-fenfluramine given alone or in the presence of dopaminergic or serotoninergic agents. To determine the neuronal targets of d-fenfluramine in the striatum, we ide...

objective(s):recently anti-inflammatory effects of antidepressants have been demonstrated. venlafaxine belongs to newer antidepressants with serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibition property. the pain alleviating properties of venlafaxine in different pain models such as neurogenic pain, diabetic neuropathy, and fibromyalgia have been demonstrated. anti-inflammatory effects of venlafaxine a...
