Two experiments tested the prediction that rats should react with reduced sensitivity/reactivity to nociceptive stimulation in the presence of a cat. In Exp I, naloxone (110 mg/kg) or saline was administered intraperitoneally to 90 female Sprague-Dawley rats before they were exposed to no stimulus, a novel stimulus, or a cat. In Exp II, 50 male rats were administered saline or naltrexone (7 mg/kg) and were exposed to either no stimulus or a cat. In both experiments, rats tested in the presence of the cat showed a significant reduction in sensitivity/reactivity to a skin-irritating formalin injection. Naltrexone reversed this analgesia, while naloxone produced only a weak trend toward shorter latencies. Findings are discussed in relation to the perceptual-defensive-recuperative model presented by RC Bolles and the 2nd author (see record 1981-25138-001), which depicts fear and pain as competing motivational systems that serve different biological functions.(19 ref)(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
