Abstract
1. omega-CgTx attenuated formalin-evoked biphasic flinches, while PKC inhibitor (STU) attenuated phase 2 and was reversed by PDBu. 2. omega-CgTx and STU suppressed the increase in CSF-glutamate after formalin injection. 3. Morphine completely suppressed both increased flinching and CSF glutamate release. 4. Thus, omega-CgTx (N-type Ca channels) may regulate neurotransmitter release evoked by C fiber activation and the formalin-evoked hyperalgesia may possibly be provoked as a result of PKC activation elicited by both presynaptic neurotransmitter release and activation of NMDA receptors in the spinal neurons.Entities:
