ASICs Do Not Play a Role in Maintaining Hyperalgesia Induced by Repeated Intramuscular Acid Injections

Figure 3

(a) The mean time constants of desensitization of ASIC-like transient currents evoked by the indicated pH solutions were similar between uninjected ( ), controls injected with pH 7.2 (Injection 1, Injection 2, ) and those injected with pH 4.0 (Injection 1, ; Injection 2, ). (b) The rate of recovery from desensitization is similar between groups: uninjected ( ), controls injected with pH 7.2 (Injection 1, ; Injection 2, ) and those injected with pH 4.0 (Injection 1, ; Injection 2, ).
