During 30 days of thiamine deficiency (TD) feeding, the rat antinociceptive effect (pain threshold) to noxious heat stimulation was significantly increased in proportion to the decrease substance P (SP) fluorescent intensity in the spinal cord. Only a single injection of thiamine HCl (0.5 mg/kg, s.c.) on the early treatment day during TD feeding effectively reversed the analgesic effect to the pair-fed control level. Whereas this reversal effect by thiamine treatment was not found if this treatment was done on the relatively late day. However, either treatment day, except muricide, complete disappearance of various animal behaviours induced by TD was found. These results indicate that, after certain degree of TD development, TD-induced behavioral effects might be reversible, but the afferent nerve fibers might be irreversibly damaged, probably by the similar mechanism as found for an excitotoxin(s) mediated injury in the certain brain region(s). The results also suggest a possibly that SP and an excitotoxin, glutamate, in the dorsal part of the spinal cord greatly contribute to the pain transmission induced by noxious heat stimulation.
