Blockade of NF-κB reduces CFA-induced mechanical and thermal pain in rats. Intraplantar administration of CFA (200 μL) increases (A) mechanical allodynia, (B) mechanical hyperalgesia, and (C) thermal hyperalgesia. Pretreatment with MG132 (20 mg/kg dosage) attenuates mechanical allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia compared to Vehicle + Saline group. N=8 per group. Data are mean ± SEM. *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001, ****P<0.0001 different from Vehicle + Saline for larger graphs and different from Vehicle for inset graphs.
