Abstract
Afferent inhibition of spinal dorsal horn neuronal responses to noxious skin heating was induced by transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation in pentobarbital-anesthetized rats. Pretreatment with B vitamins significantly enhanced this afferent inhibition, possibly due to an increase in the synthesis rate of inhibitory neurotransmitters in central neurones.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
