A DOSE-DEPENDENT ANALGESIC EFFECT OF DOCOSAHEXAENOIC ACID IN CASE OF EXPERIMENTAL PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY

Abstract

The experiment on white rats confirms that the sciatic nerve ligation causes neuropathic pain syndrome characterised by a decrease in the temperature pain threshold, uneven weight distribution on hind-limbs, and dystrophic changes in foot tissues. Depending on dose used to treat animals with sciatic nerve injury, the docosahexaenoic acid reduces the intensity and period of neuropathic pain syndrome and allows earlier stabilisation of weight distribution, thus hindering the dystrophic changes in foot tissues.
