μ‐Opioid Receptor Dynamics in the Parameningeal Tissue During Migraine Attacks
Objective The possible impact of meningeal μ‐opioid receptor (μOR) binding in migraine remains unknown. This study investigated μOR availability in the cranial parameninges involved in migraine initiation via nociceptor activation. Methods We used positron emission tomography with [11C] carfentanil, and measured μOR availability in meninges and ...

We have reported that transplantation of adrenal medullary chromaffin cells that release endogenous opioid peptides into pain modulatory regions in the CNS produce significant antinociceptive effects in patients with terminal cancer pain.

The pharmacological agent nitroglycerin (NTG) elicits hyperalgesia and allodynia in mice. This model has been used to study the neurological disorder of trigeminovascular pain or migraine, a debilitating form of hyperalgesia.

Abstract figure legend Renal erythropoietin (EPO) production was analysed in anaemic and PHD‐inhibitor‐treated wild‐type mice, and mice with genetic fibroblast‐specific hypoxia‐inducible factor (HIF)‐2 stabilization. We found, that PHD inhibition activated HIF‐2 signalling in interstitial fibroblasts of all kidney zones as observed by the induction of ...

To investigate dynamic processes of enkephalin (ENK), cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8), orphanin FQ (OFQ) and their receptors (μ opioid receptor, MOR; CCK B type receptor, CCKBR and opioid receptor-like 1 receptor, OPRL1) in the central nerve system ...

A double-labelling procedure combining immunohistochemical staining with in situ hybridization using a radiolabelled cRNA probe was employed to demonstrate oestrogen receptor-like immunoreactivity and preproenkephalin-A mRNA in the medullary and spinal ...

Abstract Traditionally, clinical trials of putative disease‐modifying therapies in Parkinson's disease have enrolled untreated patients at the earliest clinical stages of their disease. Due to a number of challenges inherent with this approach, there has been a recent move to a different study design, enrolling patients who are already taking “stable ...

Helper virus-free herpes simplex virus (HSV-1) plasmid vectors are an attractive system for gene transfer into neurons in the brain, but promoters that support long-term, neuronal-specific expression are required.

Middle cerebral artery occlusion may result in increased activation of N-methyl- d-aspartate- or α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionate (AMPA)-type receptors by glutamate and lead to neuronal cell death.

The olfactory tubercle (OT) is a striatal region that receives olfactory inputs. mRNAs of prodynorphin (Pdyn) and preproenkephalin (Penk), precursors of dynorphins and enkephalins, respectively, are strongly expressed in the striatum. Both produce opioid
