摘要
Experimental inflammation was induced by subcutaneous injection of carrageenan into the left hindpaw of rats. Intra-periaqueductal grey (PAG) injection of 0.02 or 0.1 nmol of neuropeptide Y (NPY), but not 0.004 nmol, induced significant increases in hindpaw withdrawal latency (HWL) to thermal and mechanical stimulation in rats with inflammation. Furthermore, the anti-nociceptive effect of NPY was blocked partly by following intra-PAG injection of the Y1 receptor antagonist NPY28-36. The results demonstrated that NPY plays an anti-nociceptive role in PAG in rats with inflammation, in which Y1 receptor is involved. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
