The effects of oxotremorine, epibatidine, atropine, mecamylamine and naloxone in the tail-flick, hot-plate, and formalin tests in the naked mole-rat (heterocephalus glaber)

Kanui, Titus I.; Dulu, Thomas D.; Towett, Philemon K.; Maloiy, Geoffrey M.; Abelson, Klas S. P. (International Institute of Anticancer Research, 2014-02)

The naked mole-rat (Heterocephalus glaber) is a promising animal model for the study of pain mechanisms, therefore a thorough characterization of this species is essential. The aim of the present study was to establish the ...
Imiquimod does not elicit inflammatory responses in the skin of the naked mole rat (Heterocephalus glaber)

Kisipan, Mosiany L.; Ojoo, Rodi O.; Kanui, Titus I.; Abelson, Klas S. P. (BMC, 2020-09-05)

Objective Naked mole rat (Heterocephalus glaber) has recently attracted interest in biomedical research due to its exceptional longevity, cancer resistance and tolerance to potentially harmful conditions or stimuli. Given ...
Intrathecal administration of clonidine or yohimbine decreases the nociceptive behavior caused by formalin injection in the marsh terrapin (Pelomedusa subrufa)

Kanui, Titus I.; Makau, Christopher M.; Towett, Philemon K.; Abelson, Klas S. P. (Wiley, 2014-11)

Background: The role of noradrenergic system in the control of nociception is documented in some vertebrate animals. However, there are no data showing the role of this system on nociception in the marsh terrapins. ...
Modulation of nociception by amitriptyline hydrochloride in the Speke's hinge-back tortoise (Kiniskys spekii)

Makau, Christopher M.; Towett, Philemon K.; Abelson, Klas S. P.; Kanui, Titus I. (John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2021-02)

Background: There are limited studies on the utilization of analgesics in testudines. Management of pain in reptiles is by use of analgesics generally used in other vertebrate species. Evidently, some analgesics considered ...
The suspended formalin test: A method designed for studying formalin-induced behaviour in the Speke's Hingeback Tortoise (Kinixys spekii)

Kanui, Titus I.; Dahlin, Joakim; Wambugu, Stanley N.; Abelson, Klas S. P. (Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University, 2012)

The present study aimed to develop a method for testing pain-related behaviour induced by formalin in the Speke’s hingeback tortoise (Kinixys spekii). These animals retract their head and limbs into their shell when approached, ...
