Popis: | BACKGROUND Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) is a proinflammatory cytokine that plays an important role in the early stages of inflammation. In this study, we investigated its role in orofacial discomfort in rats subjected to occlusal dental interference (ODI). METHODS Female Wistar rats (180-200 g) were divided in three groups (n = 30/group): sham group, without ODI, and two experimental groups with ODI pre-treated with 0.1 mL/kg saline (ODI + SAL) or 5 mg/kg infliximab (ODI + INF) and treated every 3 days. The animals were euthanized after 1, 3, and 7 days. The number of bites and scratches and grimace scale scores were determined daily, and the bilateral trigeminal ganglion was histomorphometrically (neuronal body area) analyzed and submitted for immunohistochemistry for TNF-α, nitric oxide synthesis (NOS) neuronal (nNOS) and inducible (iNOS), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR) y (PPARy) and δ/β (PPARδ/β), and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). One-way/two-way ANOVA/Bonferroni tests were used (P |
