Abstract

Acute, but not chronic, antidepressant treatment potentiates the analgesic responses following cold-water swims. The present study evaluated the effects of acute (10 mg/kg) and chronic (10 mg/kg, twice daily over 7 days) pretreatment with desipramine (DMI) upon the analgesic response following 2-deoxy-d-glucose (2 dG) in rats as measured by the jump test. Acute, but not chronic, DMI pretreatment significantly reduced 2 dG analgesia. These effects are discussed in terms of the heterogeneity of pain-inhibitory responses.
