Abstract excerpt
Mice lacking the serotonin-transporter (5-HTT-/- mice) develop reduced thermal hyperalgesia after nerve injury, concomitant with reduced serotonin (5-HT) levels in nervous tissue. Here we investigated pain behaviour in 5-HTT-/- mice compared to their wild type littermates after hind paw inflammation induced by complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA). We used standard tests for pain behaviour, high performance liquid...
