Dynorphin is expressed primarily by GABAergic neurons that contain galanin in the rat dorsal horn
Molecular Pain, 2011 Background The opioid peptide dynorphin is expressed by certain neurons in the superficial dorsal horn of the spinal cord, but little is known about the types of cell that contain dynorphin.

Estradiol treatment prevents injury induced enhancement in spinal cord dynorphin expression.
Frontiers in Physiology, 2012 Administration of the ovarian steroid estradiol in male and female animals has been shown to have neuromodulatory and neuroprotective effects in a variety of experimental models. In the present study, spinal tissues from dermatomes just above (T5-7, at
