Abstract

Growing experimental evidences have suggested the reciprocal correlation between sleep deprivation and pain. Inflammation and oxidative stress are among the key pathways underlying this correlation. Therefore, the present study was aimed to assess the effect of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compound naringenin (NGN) against chronic sleep deprivation (CSD)-induced mechanical and thermal hyperalgesia in female Swiss albino mice. In this study, mice were chronically sleep-deprived for 8 h a day for five days a week with the weekend as a free sleep period and continued for nine weeks using a modified multiple platform method. The pain behavioral tests were conducted at the end of the fourth week to assess the development of hyperalgesia followed by the administration of NGN and a combination of NGN with Sirtinol (SIR, a sirtuin1 inhibitor) till the end of the study. After nine weeks, pain behavioral tests, along with oxidative stress and inflammatory parameters in cortex and striatum, were assessed. Results indicated that CSD-induced hyperalgesia in mice accompanied by increased oxidative stress and inflammatory markers in cortex and striatum of the brain. NGN combatted the hyperalgesic response and also decreased levels of oxidative stress and inflammatory markers. Furthermore, the pharmacological effect of NGN was mitigated with SIR. Thus, the findings of the present study reveal that NGN is acting via sirtuin1 to exert its antinociceptive activity against CSD-induced hyperalgesia.
