  1. The results are expressed as relative pain behaviour (normalised to the baseline response of each mouse). For 0.25, 0.5 and 1 μg/paw n = 3–6, n = 4 and n = 6–10, respectively. The letter a, indicates non-significant differences when compared to WT mice (p > 0.05), the letter b, indicates significant differences compared to baseline, and the letter c, indicates significant differences relative to WT (p < 0.05). Unpaired t-test (two-tailed) or two-way RM-ANOVA with Fisher’s LSD test. Data is shown as mean ± SEM.
