Vacuolar-ATPase-mediated muscle acidification caused muscular mechanical nociceptive hypersensitivity after chronic stress in rats, which involved extracellular matrix proteoglycan and ASIC3.

Although widespread pain, such as fibromyalgia, is considered to have a central cause, peripheral input is important. We used a rat repeated cold stress (RCS) model with many characteristics common […]

The Impact of Sciatic Nerve Injury and Social Interactions Testing on Glucocorticoid Receptor Expression in Catecholaminergic Medullary Cell Populations.

Paradoxically, while acute pain leads to transiently elevated corticosterone, chronic pain does not result in persistently elevated corticosterone. In the sciatic nerve chronic constriction injury (CCI) model of chronic pain, […]
