Effect of CFA injection on mechanical response threshold (von Frey test, left panel) and thermal response threshold (Hargreaves test, right panel) in rats treated with vehicle (VEH), testosterone (T), dihydrotestosterone (DHT), or stanozolol (STAN). Data are presented as difference scores between the left (L—uninjected) and right (R—injected) paw; the dashed line indicates a difference score of 0 for the right paw compared to the left, meaning response thresholds were the same in each paw, whereas points below the dotted line indicate heightened sensitivity (lower threshold) in the injected paw compared to the uninjected paw. Nociceptive thresholds significantly differed across test days in comparison to baseline (day 0) responding. Each point is the mean ± 1 S.E.M., N = 8–10 rats/group.
