We examined the effects of intraplantar (i.pl.) administration of NaHS, an H2S donor, known to cause T-type Ca2+ channel (T-channel)-dependent mechanical hyperalgesia, on responsiveness to electric stimulation with 5, 250 and 2000 Hz sine waves (SW) that selectively excites C, Aδ and Aβ fibers, resp...
