[Participation of melatonin in change of nociception of snails and mice under influence of long-term electromagnetic shielding].
Long-term electromagnetic shielding causes three-phase changes in nociception of snails and mice: an initial phase of the antinociceptive effect ofhyperalgesia is replaced with a further normalization of the parameters of nociception. These changes in snails develop slowly and phase of hyperalgesia expressed more vividly than in mice. ⋯ Such changes are due, apparently, with the initial depression ofmelatonin secretion under the influence of the electromagnetic shielding, which leads to the development ofhyperalgesia. In the future, the secretion of melatonin increases, that is shown in the growth of antinociceptive effect.
