Investigating Thermal Antinociception via YM-254890 and Morphine

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
YM-254890 (henceforth referred to as YM) was purchased from AdipoGen® Life Sciences. The morphine used was sterile and free of preservatives (Morphine Sulphate, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA). For all in vivo studies, the vehicle used for YM compound is (0.05% DMSO in 5% dextrose solution) unless 0.9% saline is indicated as for morphine. To observe the systemic effects of YM administration, YM doses (0.1, 0.3, 0.5 and 1 mg/kg) was given subcutaneously. The dose of YM for subcutaneous injection was used from previous published studies (Meleka et al., 2019 (link)). The dose of morphine selected for subcutaneous administration (2.5, 5 and 10 mg/kg) is commonly used in mouse analgesia (Kest et al., 2002 (link)). For the combined administration of morphine and YM on thermal antinociception, YM was administered 10 min before the morphine. The latency of response was measured before injection of drugs (baseline latency response) and at different time intervals (post-treatment latency response) after drugs injection.

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.
