Abstract

The hyperalgesic activities in rats of interleukin‐1β (IL‐1β), IL‐6, IL‐8, tumour necrosis factor α (TNFα) and carrageenin were investigated. IL‐6 activated the previously delineated IL‐1/prostaglandin hyperalgesic pathway but not the IL‐8/sympathetic mediated hyperalgesic pathway. TNFα and carrageenin activated both pathways. Antiserum neutralizing endogenous TNFα abolished the response to carrageenin whereas antisera neutralizing endogenous IL‐1β, IL‐6 and IL‐8 each partially inhibited the response. The combination of antisera neutralizing endogenous IL‐1β + IL‐8 or IL‐6 + IL‐8 abolished the response to carrageenin. These results show that TNFα has an early and crucial role in the development of inflammatory hyperaglesia. The delineation of the roles of TNFα, IL‐1β, IL‐6 and IL‐8 in the development of inflammatory hyperalgesia taken together with the finding that the production of these cytokines is inhibited by steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs provides a mechanism of action for these drugs in the treatment of inflammatory hyperalgesia.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
