Antidepressants (ADs) are frequently used for the treatment of persistent pain associated with diabetic neuropathy. The aim of this study is to investigate the antinociceptive effects of sertraline (Ser) and amitriptyline (Ami) in diabetic rats, and additionally monitoring their effects on grip strength, blood glucose and percentage glycosylated hemoglobin (GHb%) levels. Streptozotocin (STZ; 55 mg/kg, intraperitoneal [ip]) was injected in rats to induce diabetes. After 7 days, Ser (30 mg/kg) or Ami (15 mg/kg) was administered in diabetic rats orally. After 28 days drug treatment, the antinociceptive effects were evaluated using hot plate test both in diabetic and non-diabetic rats. The effects of these drugs on grip strength, blood glucose and GHb% were also measured. Ser and Ami showed antinociceptive effects in diabetic and non-diabetic rats. Both the drugs increased the grip strength reduction in STZ-induced diabetic rats. Ser reduces and Ami increases the serum glucose levels in diabetic and normal rats. Administration of Ami per se increased GHb% levels, while Ser per se has no effects. The effects of Ser (30 mg/kg, per os [po]) on glucose, GHb% and antinociceptive action on hot plate test showed an association between improved blood glucose levels and analgesia. However, the results of Ami treatment are controversial and needs further studies.
