Intraplantar (5 ng) or intraperitoneal (50 ng) injections of thymulin, produced both thermal and mechanical hyperalgesia in rats. In this report, we show that ablation of capsaicin sensitive primary afferents (CSPA) can alter or abolish thymulin-induced hyperalgesia. Different groups of rats were subjected to either treatment with capsaicin or to surgical subdiaphragmatic vagotomy (SDV). Both capsaicin and SDV reduced significantly thymulin-induced hyperalgesia. On the other hand, these treatments elicited differential effects on the modulation by thymulin of the levels of nerve growth factor and interleukin 1beta. We conclude that the hyperalgesic effects of i.p. thymulin are mainly mediated through the CSPA fibers.

D007274 Injections, Intraperitoneal Forceful administration into the peritoneal cavity of liquid medication, nutrient, or other fluid through a hollow needle piercing the abdominal wall. Intraperitoneal Injections,Injection, Intraperitoneal,Intraperitoneal Injection
D007375 Interleukin-1 A soluble factor produced by MONOCYTES; MACROPHAGES, and other cells which activates T-lymphocytes and potentiates their response to mitogens or antigens. Interleukin-1 is a general term refers to either of the two distinct proteins, INTERLEUKIN-1ALPHA and INTERLEUKIN-1BETA. The biological effects of IL-1 include the ability to replace macrophage requirements for T-cell activation.
