The latencies for the C fiber evoked responses ranged from 34～105 msec whereas for Aδfiber-evoked responses it ranged from 3～22msec. A clear separation was observed between early and late responses of evoked by Cand Aδ-fiber.Application of DPDPE,DELT and DAMGO produced inhibitory effects on the Aδ-and C-fiber evoked responses of nociceptive neurons in the superficial and thedeeper dorsal horn.By comparison,the inhibition was more pronounced on the C-fiber evoked response than on the Aδ-fiber evoked response,and DAMGO produced a stronger inhibitory action than both DELT and DPDPE. Additionally,DPDPE produced facilitation, or inhibition followed by facilitation on the Aδ-and C-response and the effect had longer latency and longer time course.DPDPE also induced completely oppsite effects on the Aδ-and C-fiber evoked responses.Although the facilitation was observed,the effect was not dose-dependent. Application of BNTX (0.4～1mg/kg),a δ1 receptor antagonist,produced antagonism of DPDPE in 88%(7/8) neurons. Application of the doses (0.7～1mg/kg) of BTB,δ2-receptor antagonist,resulted in antagonism of both DELT and DPDPE. The inhibition of DELT on Aδ-response was antagonized by doses (0.3～1mg/kg)of NTB in 100% (14/14)neurons while the antagonism on C-response was in 79%(11/14) neurons.The effect produced by DPDPE was antagonized by the doses (0.7～1mg/kg) of NTB in 100%(4/4) neurons. However,a smaller dose of NTB(0.3mg/kg)which and antagonize the effect of DELT,did not antagonize the effect of DPEPE in 100%(4/4) neurons. The inhibitory action of DAMGO on Aδ-and C-fiber evoked responses was completely antagonized by naloxone(0. 2mg/kg) in 100% (6/6) neurons. These results suggest that:①μ-and δ-opioid receptors play an important role in modulating Aδ-and Cfiber evoked responses of nociceptive neurons in the superficial and the deeper dorsal horn of the rat medulla; ② The inhibitory action produced by DPDPE, DELT and DAMGO was more pronounced on the C-fiber evoked excitation and indicates that the agonists produce more predominant inhibition on the responses of dorsal horn neurons to noxious stimuli; ③ activation of either δ1-orδ2-opioid receptors produces inhibitory actions on Aδ- and C-response of nociceptive neurons in the superficial and the deeper dorsal horn of the medullal;DPDPE and DELT act at different δ-opioid receptor subtypes in the rat rnedulla; ⑤i.v.-administered NTB can distinguish δ-opioid receptor subtypes in a limited dose range.When administered i. v., 0. 3mg/kg of NTB is selective for δ2-opioid receptor.展开更多
