概要 We investigated whether endogenous pe-ripheral corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) or interleukin-1β(IL-1) participated in EAA during hyperalgesia elicited by car-rageenan-induced inflammation. PPT eleva-tions produced by EA were dose-dependently antagonized by local i.pl. injection of α-helical CRF or IL-1ra. This PPT elevation was not influenced by i.v. injection of α-helical CRF or IL-1ra. These findings suggest that peripheral CRF or IL-1 participate in EAA during hyperalgesia. The release of CRF or IL-1 elicited by EA may trigger the release of opioid peptides within inflamed tissue which may activate peripheral opioid receptors and inhibit the pain.
