Fig. 5From: Morphine immunomodulation prolongs inflammatory and postoperative pain while the novel analgesic ZH853 accelerates recovery and protects against latent sensitizationDrug then paw incision (PI). “Days” indicate days after paw incision. Drug was given for 5 days and stopped for 2 days prior to incision. a Mechanical allodynia developed in all groups following paw incision, but ZH853-treated animals recovered faster than vehicle- or morphine-treated animals. b Thermal hyperalgesia was severe and long-lasting in all drug treatment groups, but ZH853 prevented LS as indicated by lack of unmasking by naltrexone. c CatWalk variables changed in response to paw incision but not by drug group. n indicated in bar graphs. Dashed lines indicate difference versus morphine. Error bars indicate SEM. + = veh vs morphine, # = veh vs ZH853, * = morphine vs 853. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001; ****p < 0.0001Back to article page
