This study was performed to investigate the mechanism of central analgesic effects of
antidepressants. Thirty four male rats were anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium (40 …

The present study was performed to examine the central effects of antidepressants on
nociceptive jaw opening reflex after intracisternal injection. we also investigated the …

This study was performed to examine the antinociceptive effect after microinjection of
arginine vasopressin (AVP) into the central nucleus of amygdala. We recorded the jaw …

Abstract Effect of electro-acupuncture(EA) on the jaw opening reflex induced by tooth pulp
stimulation was investigated in Wistar albino rats. The amplitude of the digastric muscle …

Antinociceptive activities of heterocyclic antidepressants (HCAs) were studied after

The ability of alpha adrenoceptor agonists to modulate the tooth pulp stimulation evoked
(TPS) jaw-opening reflex (JOR) was investigated in rats and rabbits. Low doses of clonidine …

In rats, the jaw opening reflex to tooth pulp stimulation was suppressed, but that to lower lip
stimulation was scarcely affected by electroacupuncture stimulation of the forefoot. After …

The jaw-opening reflex in lightly anesthetized rats induced by intrapulpal (left maxillary)
electrical tooth pulp stimulation and quantified by the electromyograms (threshold values) …

Nicotinic acetylcholine and opioid receptors are involved in modulation of pain. In the
present study, we investigated the effects of microinjection of nicotinic acetylcholine and …
