Fujita M, Fukuda T, Sato Y, Takasusuki T, Tanaka M (2018) Allopregnanolone suppresses mechanical allodynia and internalization of neurokinin-1 receptors at the spinal dorsal horn in a rat postoperative pain model. Korean J Pain 31:10-15. doi: 10.3344/kjp.2018.31.1.10. PMID: 29372021
Objective: To identify a new strategy for postoperative pain management, this study investigated the analgesic effects of allopregnanolone (Allo) in an incisional pain model, and its effects on the activities of the primary afferent fibers at the dorsal horn.
Summary: Systemic administration of Allopregnanolone inhibited mechanical allodynia and activities of the primary afferent fibers at the dorsal horn in a rat postoperative pain model. Allopregnanolone was proposed as a candidate for postoperative pain management.
Usage: Fluorescence immunohistochemistry: Six sections per animal were labeled with primary antiserum, rabbit anti-NK-1R (1:3000).
