title: Macromolecular synthesis contributes to nociceptive response to subcutaneous formalin injection in mice.
abstract: Subcutaneous formalin injection into the hindpaw produces two phases of nociceptive response: phase 1 and phase 2. Activation of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors in the spinal cord during phase 1 is important for phase 2. We report here that phase 2 but not phase 1 requires new RNA and protein synthesis in the spinal cord.
