Four different voltage-dependent calcium channels (L-, N-, T-, and P-types) are distinguished in the central nervous system. Both L- and N-type calcium channels have been implicated in the release of neurotransmitters from sensory neurons in the spinal cord. It has been demonstrated that intrathecal L-type calcium channel blockers, which alone do not exhibit any antinociceptive effects, potentiate the antinociceptive effect of intrathecal morphine. The current study was designed to investigate the antinociceptive effects of the intrathecally administered N-type calcium channel blocker, omega-conotoxin GVIA (omega-CgTx). The interaction between morphine and omega-CgTx at the level of the spinal cord also was examined.
