Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how fasting affects nociception (pain perception) in mice by measuring changes after 12, 24, or 48 hours of food deprivation using various pain response tests.
- Results showed that fasting reduced pain responses to acetic acid and formalin injections and increased pain threshold in mechanical tests, indicating a general reduction in pain sensitivity.
- Changes in signaling molecules related to pain perception (like p-CREB, p-ERK, p-AMPKα, and p-mTOR) were noted in the dorsal root ganglia and spinal cord, suggesting that fasting may alter pain transmission pathways.
Agrimonia pilosa Ledeb has been previously reported to produce an anti-nociceptive effect in ICR mice in both tail-flick and hot-plate tests. Studies have shown that Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge, also renowned in traditional Chinese medicine, is an effective anti-inflammatory treatment. Among the extraction solvents investigated, a 50% ethanol (EtOH) extract of A.
