  1. 01AnimalAnimal study (in vivo)Mechanism

    In mice, reserpine pretreatment (3 mg/kg i.p.), which depleted monoamines, significantly reduced the antinociceptive effect of DSIP in the tail-pinch test.

    Summary
    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.

    Summary · context
    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).

    In mice, intrathecal phentolamine, an alpha-adrenergic blocker, significantly antagonized the antinociceptive effect of DSIP in the tail-pinch and hot plate tests.

    In both tail-pinch and hot plate tests, the antinociceptive effect of DSIP was significantly antagonized by the previous intrathecal administration of phentolamine (an alpha-adrenergic blocker) or yohimbine (an alpha 2-adrenergic blocker), but was unaffected by the pretreatment with methysergide (a…
