The present in vivo study investigated whether systemic administration of theanine attenuates the inflammation-induced hyperexcitability of trigeminal spinal nucleus caudalis (SpVc) neurons associated with hyperalgesia. Complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) was injected into the whisker pads of 24 rats to induce inflammation, and then mechanical stimulation was applied to the orofacial area to assess the threshold of escape. The mechanical threshold was statistically significantly lower in CFA-inflamed rats compared to uninjected naïve rats, and this lowered threshold returned to control levels after 2 days of theanine administration. The mean discharge frequency of SpVc wide-dynamic range (WDR) neurons to mechanical stimuli in anesthetized CFA-inflamed rats was statistically significantly lower after two days of theanine administration. In addition, the increased mean spontaneous discharge of SpVc WDR neurons in CFA-inflamed rats statistically significantly decreased after theanine administration. Similarly, theanine restored the expanded mean receptive field size in CFA-inflamed rats to control levels. Taken together, these results suggest that administration of theanine attenuates inflammatory hyperalgesia associated with hyperexcitability of nociceptive SpVc WDR neurons. These findings support the potential of theanine as a therapeutic agent in complementary alternative medicine strategies to prevent inflammatory hyperalgesia. |
