Abstract
Purpose. To study the effects of acute somatic pain on the activity of lysozyme in the blood of animals. Materials and methods. Experiments were conducted on white adult non-linear male rats. Acute somatic pain was simulated by electrocutaneous stimulation of the receptor zone of the root of the tail. The animals were decapitated and blood sampling was carried out to study the activity of lysozyme by nephelometric method after the acute somatic pain. Results. Quantity of lysozyme increased in 2 minutes and in 30 minutes after acute somatic pain. Level of lysozyme decreased to the baseline values in 60 minutes after painful stimulation. Statistically significant decline of its level was observed. Summary. Lysozyme gets involved in the algogenic process when acute pain is experienced. The reaction of lysozyme to the acute somatic pain is transient and biphasic: a rapid increase in the peripheral blood with subsequent decline below the initial values.
