Journal ArticleDOI

Streptozocin-induced diabetic rats: behavioural evidence for a model of chronic pain

TL;DR: This model is of interest as the observed reactions to noxious and non‐noxious stimuli correspond to hyperalgesia and allodynia, symptoms encountered in painful diabetic neuropathy in man.
Journal Article

Antidepressants and pain

TL;DR: It is suggested that antidepressants have a genuine analgesic effect and that research into their mechanisms of action will help to facilitate the development of new drugs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diabetes-induced mechanical hyperalgesia involves spinal mitogen-activated protein kinase activation in neurons and microglia via N-methyl-D-aspartate-dependent mechanisms.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated for the first time that NMDA receptor-dependent phosphorylation of MAPKs in spinal cord neurons and microglia contribute to the establishment and longterm maintenance of painful diabetic hyperalgesia and that these kinases represent potential targets for pain therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Study of the sensitivity of the diabetes-induced pain model in rats to a range of analgesics.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate the high pharmacological predictivity of this model of painful diabetes and suggest that in this pathological condition, among the drugs acting on monoaminergic transmission, noradrenergic drugs seem the most active.
