Fig. 4. Effect of intrathecal pretreatment with vehicle, BRL 44408 (α2Asubtype-preferring antagonist, A, upper panel ), and ARC 239 (α2 NON-Asubtype-preferring antagonist, B, lower panel ) on the antihypersensitivity effect of intrathecal injection of 56 nmol clonidine in injured animals. Data are mean ± SD of 6–8 animals. *P < 0.05 versus vehicle. †P < 0.05 versus 5.6-nmol dose of ARC. ‡P < 0.05 versus baseline and time 0.
