Effects of calcitonin gene-related peptide and its receptor on pain regulation in parabrachial nucleus of rats with inflammatory pain
Abstract:Inflammatory pain is one of the most common types of pain in clinical practice. The parabrachial nucleus (PBN) is involved in the development of inflammatory pain. Many studies have shown that pain is related to neurotransmitters, such as calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP). Carrageenan was injected into the left soles of rats to make an inflammatory pain model. CGRP and CGRP8-37 were injected into the PBN of rats. The responses to thermal and mechanical stimulation of rats were measured by hot plate and Ra… Show more
