Neuroimmune Interaction in the Regulation of Peripheral Opioid-mediated Analgesia in Inflammation

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2016
Peripheral immune-cell-mediated analgesia in inflammation is an important endogenous mechanism of pain control. Opioid receptors localized on peripheral sensory nerve terminals are activated by endogenous opioid peptides released from immune cells to ...

Double labelling immunohistochemical characterization of autonomic sympathetic neurons innervating the sow retractor clitoridis muscle [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Retrograde neuronal tracing and immunohistochemical methods were used to define the neurochemical content of sympathetic neurons projecting to the sow retractor clitoridis muscle (RCM). Differently from the other smooth muscles of genital organs, the RCM

Analysis of serum biomarkers associated with pain in Spanish greyhounds undergoing ovariohysterectomy

open access: yesVeterinary Record, EarlyView.
Background This study measured serum biomarkers at baseline and during an ovariohysterectomy in healthy female Spanish greyhounds, aiming to enhance the objectivity of current methods for assessing acute postoperative pain in dogs. Methods Blood samples from 20 Spanish greyhounds were collected before drug administration (T0‐baseline).

Activation of peripheral NOP receptors reduces periorbital mechanical allodynia evoked by CGRP in mice

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Migraine is a neurovascular disorder largely mediated by calcitonin gene‐related peptide (CGRP). This study explores the role of the nociceptin/orphanin FQ (N/OFQ)–N/OFQ receptor (NOP) system in CGRP‐induced periorbital mechanical allodynia (PMA) in mice.

Placenta ingestion by rats enhances d- and k-opioid antinociception, but suppresses m-opioid antinociception [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

Is there a role for cannabidiol in obesity, metabolic syndrome and binge eating?

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the most abundant phytocannabinoids isolated from the Cannabis sativa plant. CBD is a lipophilic, non‐intoxicating substance that differently from Δ9‐tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9‐THC) does not present the typical profile of a drug of abuse.

Molecular Aspect of Annelid Neuroendocrine system

open access: yes, 2007
Hormonal processes along with enzymatic processing similar to that found in vertebrates occur in annelids. Amino acid sequence determination of annelids precursor gene products reveals the presence of the respective peptides that exhibit high sequence ...

Troriluzole attenuates opioid intake, reinforcing efficacy, seeking behaviours, physical dependence and antinociceptive tolerance in rats

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Riluzole, approved for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), has a glutamate‐modulating profile favourable for mitigating opioid addiction. It reduces neuronal glutamate release and enhances glutamate reuptake, offering advantages over agents that only increase glutamate reuptake.
