NADPH oxidase isoform-2 (NOX2) has been implicated in the pathophysiology of neuropathic pain (NP), mostly through the modulation of neuroinflammation. Since it is also accepted that some neuroimmune mechanisms underlying […]
Learn More >The Constitutive Activity of Spinal 5-HT Receptors Contributes to Diabetic Neuropathic Pain in Rats.
Diabetic neuropathy is often associated with chronic pain. Serotonin type 6 (5-HT) receptor ligands, particularly inverse agonists, have strong analgesic potential and may be new candidates for treating diabetic neuropathic […]
Learn More >Lipids, especially lysophosphatidylcholine LPC16:0, have been shown to be involved in chronic joint pain through the activation of acid-sensing ion channels (ASIC3). The aim of the present study was to […]
Learn More >Persistent pain can be managed with opioids, but their use is limited by the onset of tolerance. Ultramicronized -palmitoylethanolamine (PEA) in vivo delays morphine tolerance with mechanisms that are still […]
Learn More >The cytokine oncostatin M (OSM) is regarded as a critical mediator in various inflammatory responses. While the gaseous signaling molecule hydrogen sulfide (HS) plays a role in a variety of […]
Learn More >This study was designed to investigate the analgesic effect of perineural injection of BoNT/A on neuropathic pain induced by sciatic nerve chronic constriction injury (CCI) and possible mechanisms. SD rats […]
Learn More >The hypothalamic neuropeptide oxytocin (OT) exerts prominent analgesic effects via central and peripheral action. However, the precise analgesic pathways recruited by OT are largely elusive. Here we discovered a subset […]
Learn More >Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is characterized by chronic progressive pancreatic inflammation, which leads to the permanent damage of exocrine and endocrine cells. CP causes irreversible morphological and functional changes, and the […]
Learn More >In the present study, NAN-190 [1-(2-methoxyphenyl)-4-[4-(2-phthalimido) butyl] piperazine] was identified as a Nav1.7 blocker. In the meantime, the compound could alleviate the Complete Freund’s Adjuvant (CFA)-induced inflammatory pain. To understand […]
Learn More >The highly dynamic changes in microglia necessary to achieve a rapid neuroinflammatory response require a supply of energy from mitochondrial respiration, which leads to the accumulation of unfolded mitochondrial proteins. […]
