Analgesic effect of acetaminophen in the formalin test and the tail pressure test in RTX-i.c.v.-pretreated mice. Mice were pretreated with RTX (100 ng, i.c.v.) or vehicle one week before the tests. (a) Time course of licking/biting behavior evoked by i.pl. injection of 2.5% formalin (arrowhead). Acetaminophen was i.p.-administered 20 min before formalin injection. (b, c) The first and second phases recorded during 0-10 and 10-50 min after injection of formalin, respectively. (d) Change in the threshold for acute mechanical nociception. Acetaminophen was i.p.-administered at time zero (arrowhead). All data represent the mean ± SEM. The number of mice in each group is shown in parentheses. The Mann-Whitney U-test was used for b-d (*P < 0.05 vs. Vehicle-i.c.v. group). AcAP, acetaminophen; PG, propyleneglycol; n.s., not significant; i.pl., intraplantar injection.
