Figure Legend Snippet: Antagonism of antinociceptive effects of i.c.v. administered CRF by CRF-R1 antagonist NBI 27914 and CRF-R2 antagonist K41498. In Wistar rats with 4-day FCA-induced hind paw inflammation, effects of i.c.v. administered CRF on nociceptive paw pressure thresholds were measured by algesiometry. A i.c.v. application of CRF (0.5, 01.0, 1.5, 2.0 µmol) significantly increased nociceptive thresholds in a dose-dependent manner ( F (4, 25) = 445; P < 0.001). B Dose-dependent antagonism of i.c.v. CRF’s antinociception by co-administered CRF-R1 antagonist NBI 27914 ( F (4, 25) = 502.9; P < 0.001). C In contrast, increasing doses of the i.c.v. CRF-R2 antagonist K41498 only partially antagonized CRF’s antinociception ( F (4, 25) = 315.7; P < 0.001). *indicates significant differences from vehicle treatment; data points (n = 6) represent means ± SD

Figure Legend Snippet: Antinociceptive effects of the i.c.v. CRF-R1 agonist stressin I or CRF-R2 agonist Ucn-2 and their antagonism by the respective CRF-R1 (NBI 27914) or CRF-R2 (K41498) selective antagonists. The effects of i.c.v. CRF-R1 (stressin I) or CRF-R2 (Ucn-2) agonists on nociceptive paw pressure thresholds were measured by algesiometry. A i.c.v. administration of the CRF-R1 agonist stressin I significantly increased nociceptive thresholds in a dose-dependent manner ( F (4, 25) = 552.4; P < 0.001). B i.c.v. administration of the CRF-R2 agonist Ucn-2 significantly increased nociceptive thresholds ( F (4, 25) = 389.1; P < 0.001). C Dose-dependent antagonism of i.c.v. CRF-R1 agonist’s antinociception by co-administered CRF-R1 antagonist NBI 27914 ( F (4, 25) = 73.9; P < 0.001, one-way ANOVA and Dunnett’s test). D ) Dose-dependent antagonism of i.c.v. Ucn-2 antinociception by co-administered CRF-R2 antagonist K41498 was significant ( F (5, 30) = 88.4; P < 0.001), *indicates significant differences from vehicle treatment; data points (n = 6) represent means ± SD

Figure Legend Snippet: The antinociceptive effects of i.c.v. CRF and CRF-R1 agonist stressin I and their antagonism by the opioid receptor antagonist naloxone in rats with inflamed hindpaws. The effects of i.c.v. co-administration of the opioid receptor antagonist naloxone with CRF or CRF-R1 agonist stressin I on nociceptive thresholds were measured by algesiometer. A The i.c.v. CRF’s induced-antinociception was significantly reduced by co-administration of the opioid receptor antagonist naloxone ( F (5, 30) = 384.8; P < 0.001). B Similarly, the antinociception resulting from i.c.v. CRF-R1 agonist stressin I was significantly attenuated by co-administered opioid receptor antagonist naloxone ( F (5, 30) = 400.8; P < 0.001) *indicates significant differences from vehicle treatment); data points ( n = 6) represent means ± SD
