Estrogen-dependent visceral hypersensitivity following stress in rats: An fMRI study [PDF]
We used functional MRI and a longitudinal design to investigate the brain mechanisms in a previously reported estrogen-dependent visceral hypersensitivity model. We hypothesized that noxious visceral stimulation would be associated with activation of the

Advances in the role of intestinal ion channels in the pathogenesis of irritable bowel syndrome [PDF]
Ion channels are widely present in mucous membranes of the digestive tract, their abnormal expression and(or) function are important pathogenic mechanisms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Women in space: A review of known physiological adaptations and health perspectives
Abstract Exposure to the spaceflight environment causes adaptations in most human physiological systems, many of which are thought to affect women differently from men. Since only 11.5% of astronauts worldwide have been female, these issues are largely understudied.

Microbiota dysbiosis induced by defect of enteric antimicrobial activity triggers visceral hypersensitivity in young adult mice [PDF]
Paneth cell-derived antimicrobial peptides like lysozyme provide antibacterial protection and maintain intestinal homeostasis. We aimed to analyze the consequences of altered Paneth cells function on fecal antimicrobial activity, intestinal homeostasis ...

Abstract Chronic low‐grade inflammation characterizes type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and underlies the development of peripheral neuropathy, symptoms of which include mechanical allodynia and an exaggerated exercise pressor reflex. The purpose of this study was to determine whether mechanical allodynia and/or specific concentrations of inflammatory ...

Therapeutic potential of spexin in diabetic neuropathy: Insights from in vitro and in vivo models
Abstract The present study investigated the therapeutic potential of spexin (SPX) on both in vitro and in vivo models of diabetic neuropathy (DN). A total of 40 male BALB/c mice were randomly allocated into four experimental groups (n = 10 per group): a normoglycaemic control, an untreated DN group and two SPX treatment groups (DN+SPX‐12.5 and DN+SPX ...

Transient receptor potential ion channel function in sensory transduction and cellular signaling cascades underlying visceral hypersensitivity [PDF]
Visceral hypersensitivity is an important mechanism underlying increased abdominal pain perception in functional gastrointestinal disorders including functional dyspepsia, irritable bowel syndrome, and inflammatory bowel disease in remission.

Abstract figure legend We used an intersectional approach with recombinase‐expressing mice and adeno‐associated virus to map and modulate distinct nociceptive afferents in the vagal ganglia. TRPV1+P2X2+ neurons resided in the nodose ganglion (N), innervated the lungs (many projected into the alveoli) but not the trachea, and projected to the nucleus ...

Pharmacological Inhibition of Cav2.2 Channels by Recombinant Phα1β Toxin (CTK01512‐2)
The recombinant Phα1β toxin (CTK01512‐2) partially and reversibly inhibits Cav2.2 calcium channels in HEK‐293 cells. CTK01512‐2 displays dose‐dependent inhibition of N‐type calcium currents, with an IC50 of 3.94 nM. In vivo, CTK01512‐2 effectively reduces mechanical allodynia in a neuropathic pain model, confirming its antinociceptive activity ...

Histamine H4 and H1 receptors contribute to postinflammatory visceral hypersensitivity [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: Substantial evidence implicates mast cells and their main constituent histamine in the pathogenesis of visceral hypersensitivity. We explored the specific contribution of histamine H4 (H4R) and H1 (H1R) receptors to visceral hypersensitivity ...
