dc.description.abstractNeuropeptides nociceptin/orphanin FQ (N/OFQ) and nocistatin (NST) are related to pain modulation. The amounts of these peptides and their precursor protein, prepronociceptin (ppN/OFQ) in the brain, spinal cord and serum samples of rats with partial sciatic nerve ligation (PSNL) were compared with those in naïve rats using radioimmunoassay (RIA). There was a significant rise in the levels of ppN/OFQ, N/OFQ and NST in the brains of PSNL rats. Their spinal cords showed significantly increased ppN/OFQ and NST levels but no change in N/OFQ levels. The PSNL rats also had increased serum NST (statistically significant) and N/OFQ (statistically insignificant) with decreased ppN/OFQ suggesting important roles of these peptides in neuropathic pain mechanism. © 2007 Elsevier Inc.
