Intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of minocycline attenuated single prolonged stress (SPS)-induced mechanical allodynia and anxiety-like behavior. (a) Pain sensitivity was determined by measuring paw withdrawal mechanical threshold (PWMT) on the day before SPS (baseline) and on days 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 after SPS. (b) The data of PWMT was also expressed as the hyperalgesic index. Anxiety-like behavior was tested in the EPM on day 7 after SPS. Percentage (%) of open-arm entries (c) and time spent in the open arms (d) as well as anxiety index (e) were calculated. Data were expressed as the mean ± standard deviation; n = 8 in each group. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 compared with group control + vehicle i.p.; #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01, ###P < 0.001 compared with group SPS + vehicle i.p.
