Abstract
Microglial cell plays a crucial role in the development and establishment of chronic neuropathic pain after spinal cord injuries. As neuropathic pain is refractory to many treatments and some drugs only present partial efficacy, it is essential to study new targets and mechanisms to ameliorate pain signs. For this reason we have used glibenclamide (GB), a blocker of KATP channels that are over expressed in microglia under activation conditions. GB has already been used to trigger the early scavenger activity of microglia, so we administer it to promote a better removal of dead cells and myelin debris and support the microglia neuroprotective phenotype. Our results indicate that a single dose of GB (1 μg) injected after spinal cord injury is sufficient to promote long-lasting functional improvements in locomotion and coordination. Nevertheless, the Randall–Selitto test measurements indicate that these improvements are accompanied by enhanced mechanical hyperalgesia. In vitro results indicate that GB may influence microglial phagocytosis and therefore this action may be at the basis of the results obtained in vivo.

A quick solution to determine the mechanical sensitivity threshold in rodents (mice and rats). Now wireless, to be free from annoying cables!

This precise and easy-to-use electronic instrument is a must-have reference for your research in analgesia, nociception, neuro-pathologies and post-operative pain.

As an electronic version of the classical Von Frey Filaments esthesiometer (or aesthesiometer), the latest evolution of Bioseb's Electronic Von Frey instrument for determining the mechanical sensitivity threshold in rodents (rats and mice) is a must-have instrument for your reseach on hyperalgesia and allodynia. By measuring and recording the force at which the animal exhibits a paw withdrawal reflex, pathologies related to sensory response and hyper- or hypo-aesthesia can be studied.

The EVF5 includes an embedded camera inside the stimulator handle and a new, dedicated software revolutionizing the experimental process.
