In the tail-pinch test, the antinociceptive effect of DSIP was significantly reduced by the pretreatment with reserpine (3 mg/kg i.p.) which depleted endogenous monoamines.
1 context sentence(design, population, supporting numbers)
We studied whether the antinociceptive effect produced by intracerebroventricular injection of delta-sleep-inducing peptide (DSIP) to mice involved the monoaminergic pathways that descended from brainstem to spinal cord (the descending inhibitory systems).
