..PAGE:1 Korean J Physiol Pharmacol Vol 8: 281－288, October, 2004 281 INTRODUCTION Bee venom (BV) has been known to have dual effects. In oriental countries such as Korea and China, BV has been used for the treatment of chronic pain such as arthritis. However, it was not until recent times that systematic studies on the underlying mech anisms of BV-induced pain relief were done. In 1973,... The present study was undertaken to confirm whether melittin, a major constituent of whole bee venom (WBV), had the ability to produce the same nociceptive responses as those induced by WBV. In the behavioral experiment, changes in mechanical threshold, flinching behaviors and paw thickness (edema) were measured after intraplantar (i.pl.) injection of WBV (0.1 mg & 0.3 mg/paw) and melittin (0.05 mg & 0.15 mg/paw), and intrathecal (i.t.) injection of melittin (6μg). Also studied were the...
