Electroacupuncture as a treatment for suspected trigeminal nerve‐mediated head‐shaking in 42 horses
Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.Summary Background Electroacupuncture (EA) has been used successfully as a treatment for trigeminal nerve‐mediated head‐shaking (TMHS) in a small case series, but results from a larger number of cases are lacking. Objectives To retrospectively investigate the effectiveness of EA as a treatment for horses with TMHS.

Nitrous Oxide: Mechanism of Its Antinociceptive Action [PDF]
, 1995 Nitrous oxide (N2O) is an anesthetic gas known to produce an analgesic effect at sub-anesthetic concentrations. This analgesic property of N2O can be clinically exploited in a broad range of conditions where pain relief is indicated.

Methionine-enkephalin and leucine-enkephalin in human sympathoadrenal system and pheochromocytoma. [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Investigation, 1982 To elucidate the physiological and pathophysiological significance of methionine- and leucine-enkephalin (Met-and Leu-enkephalin, respectively) in human sympathoadrenal system, the contents of these peptides in normal human sympathetic nervous system, adrenal medulla, and pheochromocytomas were determined by specific radioimmunoassays combined with ...

The pharmacotherapeutic potential of neuropeptide Y for chronic pain
Journal of Internal Medicine, EarlyView.Abstract Chronic pain is a major medical problem that requires new therapeutic options. Discovered by Victor Mutt in 1982, neuropeptide Y (NPY) is rapidly emerging as a master regulator of pain relief. Genetic knockdown of NPY or pharmacological inhibition of its receptors demonstrates that NPY signaling tonically inhibits indices of chronic ...

Placenta ingestion by rats enhances d- and k-opioid antinociception, but suppresses m-opioid antinociception [PDF]
, 2004 Ingestion of placenta or amniotic fluid produces a dramatic enhancement of centrally mediated opioid antinociception in the rat. The present experiments investigated the role of each opioid receptor type (m, d, k) in the antinociception-modulating ...
