Abstract
This study evaluated the contribution of endothelins to changes in sensitivity to mechanical stimulation of the lower abdomen and hind paw associated with 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis. The frequency of withdrawal responses to 10 consecutive applications of von Frey probes to the lower abdomen (0.07 g) or hind paw (0.4 g) was assessed in male BALB/c mice before and after intracolonic TNBS injection (0.5 mg in 100 microL of 35% ethanol). TNBS (0.5 mg) induced referred mechanical hyperalgesia in the abdomen (response frequencies at 24 h: saline 11.0% +/- 3.1%, TNBS 48.0% +/- 6.9%) and hind paw (frequencies at 24 h: saline 12.5% +/- 4.7%, TNBS 47.1% +/- 7.1%) lasting up to 72 and 48 h, respectively. Mice receiving 1.0 or 1.5 mg TNBS assumed hunch-backed postures and became immobile during abdominal mechanical stimulation, suggestive of excessive ongoing pain. Atrasentan (ETA receptor antagonist; 10 and 30 mg/kg, i.v.) given 24 h after TNBS abolished hind paw and abdominal mechanical hyperalgesia for 2-3 h. A-192621 (ETB receptor antagonist; 20 mg/kg, i.v.) attenuated abdominal mechanical hyperalgesia at the 3 h time point only. Thus, endothelins contribute importantly to abdominal and hind paw referred mechanical hyperalgesia during TNBS-induced colitis mainly through ETA receptor-signaled mechanisms.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
