Abstract
Intra-periaqueductal grey (PAG) injection of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) induced dose-dependent increases in hindpaw withdrawal latency (HWL) to thermal and mechanical stimulation in rats with mononeuropathy. CGRP-induced increases in HWLs were blocked by intra-PAG injection of the CGRP antagonist CGRP8-37. The results demonstrated that CGRP and CGRP receptors in PAG play an important role in antinociception in rats with mononeuropathy.Entities:
