A. Pretreatment with Sap or SSP-Sap made no difference in time spent on an accelerating rotarod before falling off. B. Rats pretreated with Sap developed a profound mechanical allodynia following carrageenan as shown by their 50% probability withdrawal threshold to von Frey filaments. Animals pretreated with SSP-Sap also developed hyperalgesia, but thresholds were elevated compared to SAP pretreated animals at all timepoints except at 2 h post-carrageenan. C. Area under the curve for the two treatments indicates that SSP-Sap reduced allodynia integrated over the entire time period. ** = p ≤ 0.001
