Dark meal duration was lengthened after Gabrα6 knock-down in the trigeminal ganglia suggesting an increase in the nociceptive response. Male rats were cannulated, placed in the feeders (preday -3, preday -2 preday -1), the tendons were ligatured (Lig +1, Lig +2, Lig +3) and 72 h later the trigeminal ganglion was infused with control siRNA or Gabrα6 siRNA (Lig +4/siRNA +1, Lig +5/siRNA +2, Lig +6/siRNA +3). Dark meal duration was measured for each treatment group. ANOVA and post hoc testing was completed with data from 10 animals per treatment group using the dependent variable of meal duration and the independent variables of Sham, Ligature and control siRNA, Gabar6 siRNA and days, *p < 0.05. The letter “a” indicates that there was a significant main effect (p < 0.05) for treatment (Ligature/control siRNA and Ligature/Gabra6 siRNA) and days (Lig +5/siRNA +2 and Lig +6/siRNA +3). Values are the mean ± SEM.
