We explored and compared the diabetic neuralgia induced in streptozotocin-treated rats, monitoring the expression of nitric oxide synthase in several areas of the central nervous system involved in nociceptive transmission, in the spinal ganglia and in the nodose ganglia. The threshold for heat noxi
