ABSTRACT
he effect of intrathecally administered [D-Ala2,N-Me-Phe4,Gly5-ol]-enkephalin (DAMGO) on withdrawal latencies evoked by noxious heat applied to either cervical or lumbar dermatomes was studied in awake rats. Administration of DAMGO to the lumbar intrathecal space produces a dose-dependent suppression of withdrawals evoked by noxious thermal stimulation in either lumbar or cervical dermatomes. Administration of the same doses of DAMGO to the cervical spinal cord produces a suppression of withdrawals evoked by stimulation in cervical but not lumbar dermatomes. Control experiments provide evidence that the drugs administered intrathecally to either enlargement do not spread to the other enlargement.
