{"title":"Effect of Pregnancy on TMJ Nociception in Rats.","authors":"Mikhail Umorin, L. Bellinger, P. Kramer","doi":"10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2018.03.029","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2018.03.029","url":null,"abstract":"Objective\u0000Does TMJ nociception, as measured by a behavioral assay, differ during pregnancy, potentially due to the effect of sex steroids?\u0000\u0000\u0000Methods\u0000Thirty - two Sprague Dawlcy rats were randomly allocated to either mid- (EH 11) or late- (EH 17) pregnancy groups. The animals within each group were further allocated to a saline or CFA treatment. At EH 11 or EH 17, the animals were injected bilaterally into TMJ with either saline (15 μL.) or 1 μg/μL CFA (15 μL). Nociception was measured with a feeding assay (pellet recording) and analyzed by comparing in-tra-meal rates using a distance-based permutation method.\u0000\u0000\u0000Results\u0000CFA injection resulted in the animals eating longer in both the mid - pregnant and late-pregnant groups. Plasma estradiol was higher in the late - pregnant group versus the mid - pregnant group. Importantly, the CFA injected late-pregnant group ate for a shorter amount of time (i. e., shorter meal rate) than the CFA injected rats at mid - pregnancy.\u0000\u0000\u0000Conclusion\u0000The reduced nociceptive response (shorter meal rate) in the CFA injected late - pregnant group may be due to greater estradiol versus the CFA injected mid - pregnancy rats. Thus, one potential reason why women report fewer TMJ symptoms during pregnancy is the higher level of circulating estradiol.","PeriodicalId":92817,"journal":{"name":"Kou qiang yi xue yan jiu = Journal of oral science research","volume":"34 3 1","pages":"332-338"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42555221","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
