Inhibiting protein kinase G-1 (PKG-1) reduces complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA)-induced thermal hyperalgesia. Paw withdrawal latency (PWL) to heat stimuli was assessed (pre-CFA) and then 100 ul CFA was injected into the plantar surface of the right hind paw. One day later (post-CFA day 1), when the rats exhibited thermal hyperalgesia, Rp-8-pCPT-cGMPS (RPG) (100, 125, and 250 nmol, n = 6, 6, and 10, respectively) or the vehicle control (saline, n = 10) was administered intrathecally as indicated by arrow. Paw withdrawal latency was measured again the following day (post-CFA day 2). (A) Data (mean ± SEM) indicated that injection of 250 nmol RPG resulted in a significant improvement in mean PWL compared to the vehicle control (P = 0.001). (B) Mean PWL in the contralateral hind paw.
