The interrelations among norepinephrine (NE), serotonin (5-HT), opiate-like substances (OLS), and acetylcholine (ACh) were investigated by using electrophysiological method combining with intrathecal (i.t.) injection. The results show that: (1) pretreatment with i.t. naloxone (Nal) completely reversed the NE-induced suppression of nociceptive discharges in parafascicular (PF) neurons, but partially reversed that of induced by i.t. 5-HT; (2) pretreatment with i.t. atropine (Atr) completely reversed the suppression induced by either NE or 5-HT. The results suggest that OLS may act as a necessary mediator for NE-induced suppression on the spinal transmission of nociceptive inputs, while it is only partially involved in the 5-HT-induced suppression, and moreover, that endogenous ACh is necessary for the performance of nociceptive suppression induced by either spinal NE or 5-HT administration.

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.

D009638 Norepinephrine Precursor of epinephrine that is secreted by the ADRENAL MEDULLA and is a widespread central and autonomic neurotransmitter. Norepinephrine is the principal transmitter of most postganglionic sympathetic fibers, and of the diffuse projection system in the brain that arises from the LOCUS CERULEUS. It is also found in plants and is used pharmacologically as a sympathomimetic.

D004723 Endorphins One of the three major groups of endogenous opioid peptides. They are large peptides derived from the PRO-OPIOMELANOCORTIN precursor. The known members of this group are alpha-, beta-, and gamma-endorphin. The term endorphin is also sometimes used to refer to all opioid peptides, but the narrower sense is used here; OPIOID PEPTIDES is used for the broader group. Endorphin
