概要	Background: Spinally administered clonidine produces analgesia via alpha(2)-adrenergic receptors. The analgesic potency of clonidine and its dependency on muscarinic acetylcholine receptors increase in rats after nerve injury. The authors hypothesized that these changes reflect greater acetylcholine release from the spinal cord by clonidine, either through direct or indirect effects.Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into two groups: no surgery or left L5 and L6 spinal nerve ligation (SNL). All experiments were performed 3 weeks after SNL. Crude synaptosomes; were prepared from the spinal enlargement and loaded with [H-3]choline. Samples were incubated with clonidine in the absence or presence of KCl depolarization. The authors also examined the effect of clonidine on KCl evoked acetylcholine release using perfusion of spinal cord slices, in which some spinal circuitry is maintained.Results: In synaptosomes, clonidine alone induced minimal acetylcholine release, which was actually greater in tissue from normal rats than in tissue from SNL rats. In the presence of KCl depolarization, however, clonidine enhanced acetylcholine release in tissue from SNL rats but inhibite
