Pain sensitivity was evaluated by measuring the acetic acid-induced writhing responses as previously described [31], as acetic acid could induce abdominal contractions and hind limb stretching. Mice were placed into open polyvinyl cages (20 × 40 × 15 cm) immediately after acid challenge, and abdominal constrictions were counted cumulatively over a period of 30 min.
