The effect of chloride and potassium channel blockers on the antinociception induced by GABA(A) receptor agonist muscimol was investigated using the paw pressure test. Muscimol (1, 2, 4, 8 ng/paw) elicited a peripheral antinociceptive effect that was antagonized by bicuculline (10, 20, 40, 80 ng/paw), suggesting a specific effect. The muscimol effect was reverted by the chloride channel coupled GABA(A) receptor blocker, picrotoxin (0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 2 microg/paw). Potassium channel blockers did not modify the peripheral antinociception induced by muscimol. This study provides evidence that the peripheral antinociceptive effect of muscimol results from the activation of GABA(A) receptor-associated chloride channels.
使用 paw 压力测试研究了氯离子和钾离子通道阻滞剂对 GABA(A) 受体激动剂蝇蕈醇诱导的抗伤害感受的影响。蝇蕈醇(1、2、4、8 ng/爪)引发了外周抗伤害感受作用,该作用被荷包牡丹碱(10、20、40、80 ng/爪)拮抗,提示有特异性作用。蝇蕈醇的作用被氯离子通道偶联的 GABA(A) 受体阻滞剂印防己毒素(0.4、0.6、0.8、2 μg/爪)逆转。钾离子通道阻滞剂未改变蝇蕈醇诱导的外周抗伤害感受。本研究提供了证据表明蝇蕈醇的外周抗伤害感受作用源于 GABA(A) 受体相关氯离子通道的激活。
