Figure 1From: Monosodium iodoacetate-induced joint pain is associated with increased phosphorylation of mitogen activated protein kinases in the rat spinal cord Hind limb grip force following MIA knee injection in rat. MIA injection significantly decreased grip force 1, 2, and 3 wk post MIA injection. One-way ANOVA showed a significant treatment effect (F = 101.7, p < 0.0001); post-hoc analysis (Fisher's PLSD) revealed a significant grip force deficit in the 1, 2, and 3 wk-post MIA groups. Grip force strength was expressed as CFmax/kg body weight and represented as mean values (± S.E.M); ** p < 0.01 vs. naïve controls; n = 6/group.Back to article page
