Tail pinch behavior and analgesia in diabetic mice. 1982

A S Levine, and J E Morley, and G Wilcox, and D M Brown, and B S Handwerger

Mild tail pinch induced "consummatory" behaviors in mice. The major tail pinch behavior appeared to be chewing with food ingestion occurring possibly as an epiphenomenon. All tail pinch behaviors were obliterated by the dopamine antagonist haloperidol; and the opiate antagonist, naltrexone, decreased eating without altering chewing. The combination of dopamine blockade and tail pinch induced jumping behavior in mice. Diabetic mice showed increased tail flick latencies to radiant heat and to the induction of tail pinch behaviors, displaying these behaviors less commonly than their homozygote and heterozygote littermate controls.

D009271 Naltrexone Derivative of noroxymorphone that is the N-cyclopropylmethyl congener of NALOXONE. It is a narcotic antagonist that is effective orally, longer lasting and more potent than naloxone, and has been proposed for the treatment of heroin addiction. The FDA has approved naltrexone for the treatment of alcohol dependence. Antaxone,Celupan,EN-1639A,Nalorex,Naltrexone Hydrochloride,Nemexin,ReVia,Trexan,EN 1639A,EN1639A
D009619 Nociceptors Peripheral AFFERENT NEURONS which are sensitive to injuries or pain, usually caused by extreme thermal exposures, mechanical forces, or other noxious stimuli. Their cell bodies reside in the DORSAL ROOT GANGLIA. Their peripheral terminals (NERVE ENDINGS) innervate target tissues and transduce noxious stimuli via axons to the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM.

D004298 Dopamine One of the catecholamine NEUROTRANSMITTERS in the brain. It is derived from TYROSINE and is the precursor to NOREPINEPHRINE and EPINEPHRINE. Dopamine is a major transmitter in the extrapyramidal system of the brain, and important in regulating movement. A family of receptors (RECEPTORS, DOPAMINE) mediate its action.
