چکیده

Background: tea (camellia sinensis) has been utilised, since time immemorial, as a beverage possessing encouraging health benefits. littlescientific evidence exists in literature on the effect of this plant on pain. objectives: to investigate the antinociceptive activity of iranian green tea extract. materials and methods: the hydroalcoholic extract was administered to male wistar rats. formalin paw test was used to evaluate theantinociceptive activity. plant extract (25, 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg, i.p.) (n = 6 for each group) or vehicle (n = 6) was administered 30 min beforethe subplantar formalin injection. results: the extract caused a significant dose-related (50, 100, 200 mg /kg, i.p.) inhibition of the first phase and onset of chronic phase (200mg /kg, i.p.) of formalin induced nociception. the results showed that the pre-treatment of rats with naloxone (1 mg/kg, i.p.) significantly (p < 0.001) reversed antinociception by green tea extract (gte) (200 mg/kg, i.p.) in the inflammatory phase and had no effect on phase 1. conclusions: these results indicate that gte produces dose-related antinociception in chemical pain model and one of its possiblemechanisms involves opioid pathways.
