Evaluation of the antinociceptive activity of AA and association
with naloxone through the formalin test. Lick time was determined
in the first 5 min (A, first stage, neurogenic pain), and the second
phase (B, inflammatory pain) was assessed 20 min after the start of
the test (20–25 min). The animals were treated with vehicle
(VEH, control group), anacardic acid (AA: 25 mg/kg, ip), or morphine
(MORP; 5 mg/kg, ip) after 30 min receiving 500 μL/well of carrageenan.
The dots represent mean ± SEM (n = 5). *p < 0.05 vs VEH group. (one-way ANOVA followed by the
Newman–Keuls test with post hoc test).
