Abstract

Electromyographic (EMG) activity of the elbow joint muscles induced during passive extension of the joint was recorded from the unaesthetized cat before and after injection of 5% NaCl solution which has been used as an activator of nocicep- tors. It was shown that the amplitude of the long-latency M2 component of flexor stretch-reflex was significantly increased after injection of saline while the amplitude change of shot- latency M1 component was insignificant. The latency of EMG in flexor significantly decreased. The changes of extensor EMG response parameters were similar but less expressed. Dura- tion of such effect could achieve 20 minutes, after that all response parameters of stretch-reflex returned to the standard values.
