Figure 5

Lack of NPS effects on hindlimb withdrawal thresholds. Using calibrated forceps for mechanical compression of the knee joint, reflex thresholds were measured in normal (A) and arthritic rats (B) before (Pre) and 45 min after a nasal application of saline (Sal; n = 6 normal rats; n = 7 arthritic rats) or before (Pre) and 45 min after NPS (14 nmol; n = 6 normal rats; n = 7 arthritic rats). NPS had no significant effect (one-way ANOVA).
