Investigating Forced Swim Stress-Induced Analgesia

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Saline (0.9%) and β-funaltrexamine [β-FNA (a MOR-specific antagonist); Sigma-Aldrich] were used to identify the influence of forced swim intensities on MOR-dependent forced swim stress-induced analgesia. Mice were treated with physiological saline or β-FNA dissolved in saline through subcutaneous injection with a dose of 40 mg/kg body weight 24 h before the stress and analgesia test. The volume of injection was set at 10 ml/kg.

Solid-Phase Synthesis of EM-1 and EM-2 Peptides

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
EM-1 and EM-2 were prepared by manual solid-phase synthesis using standard N-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) chemistry as reported in our previous study [32 (link)]. Fmoc-protected amino acids (GL Biochem Ltd., China) were coupled with Rink amide 4-methybenzhydrylamine (MBHA) resin (Tianjin Nankai Hecheng Science & Technology Co., Ltd., China). The crude peptides were purified by preparative reversed-phase HPLC (RP-HPLC) and determined by electrospray ionization mass spectrometer (ESI-Q-TOF maXis-4G, Bruker Daltonics).
Naloxone, β-FNA, nor-binaltorphimine (nor-BNI), and naltrindole (NTI) were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich. The selective p38 MAPK inhibitor SB203580 was purchased from Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology and dissolved in 1% DMSO in saline. All other drugs were dissolved in sterilized saline and stored at − 20 °C.

Pharmacological Modulation of Opioid Signaling

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Ketamine (10–30 mg/kg, MWI Veterinary Supply Co.), Naltrexone (5 mg/kg, Tocris, 0677), beta-funaltrexamine (β-FNA, 15 mg/kg, Sigma Aldrich, O003), norbinaltorphimine (norBNI, 10 mg/kg, Tocris, 0347), and cocaine (10 mg/kg, Sigma Aldrich, C5776) were all dissolved in 0.9% normal saline. 4-hydroxytamoxifen (4OHT, 50 mg/kg, Sigma Aldrich, T176) was dissolved in warm ethanol (50 μl / mg 4OHT) and mixed into sunflower oil (80 μl / mg 4OHT) and castor oil (20 μl / mg 4OHT), followed by vacuum centrifugation to evaporate out the ethanol. Drugs were administered intraperitoneally (i.p.) at a volume of 10 mL/kg. For all experiments involving drug injection, matched control groups always received the same total number of drug or SAL injections.
For local inhibition of MORs in the CeA, mice were bilaterally microinjected with CTAP (300 ng in 500 nL in saline, Sigma Aldrich, C6352) 5 min before behavioral testing. CTAP was infused through an injector cannula coupled to a 5 μL Hamilton syringe using a microinfusion pump (Harvard Apparatus) at a continuous rate of 150 nL min−1 to a total volume of 0.5 μL per hemisphere. Injector cannulas were removed 1 min after infusions were complete.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
