Activation of alpha 2-adrenergic receptors decreases nerve trauma-induced afferent barrage but not autotomy.

Abstract:

:Effects of the selective alpha 2-adrenoceptor agonist, medetomidine, on a compound volley of a tibial nerve stimulation-evoked spinal reflex, pain-induced phrenic motor responses and on postoperative neuropathic pain behavior were studied in rats. Medetomidine (0.3 mg/kg) decreased the amplitude of the compound volley recorded from peroneal nerve in response to tibial stimulation in pentobarbital (40 mg/kg) anesthetized rats. Atipamezole, an alpha 2-adrenoceptor antagonist (1.5 mg/kg) fully restored the response when given 60 min after the medetomidine administration. Pain-evoked phrenic motor responses were completely inhibited upon combination anesthesia by pentobarbital (40 mg/kg) and medetomidine (0.3 mg/kg) (PB+M) but not upon plain pentobarbital anesthesia (50 or 60 mg/kg) (PB50,PB60). To study the effect of medetomidine on postoperative neuropathic pain behavior (autotomy), transection of sciatic nerve was done under PB+M, PB50 or PB60 anesthesia. No differences between the groups were found in the postoperative pain behavior during eight-week follow up. The results show that activation of alpha 2-adrenergic receptors by medetomidine under pentobarbital anesthesia mitigates trauma-induced afferent barrage, whereas it does not reduce the subsequent autotomy.
