Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleBlockade of Group I Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors (mGluRs) Activation Inhibits Nociception Following Descending Colon Distension in SheepBogdan F. Kania, Danuta Wrońska, Mikołaj A. GralakExpression of mGluRs of groups I and II was found in structures of CNS closely related with nociception: spinal cord superficial fields, responsible for pain filling or modulation of neurotransmission in the peripheral receptors. The present study examined contribution of mGluRs to the development and maintenance of changes in behavioral and clinical symptoms caused by visceral pain. Experiments were carried … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 24 Dec 2014 · 7,427 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Intrahippocampal γ Aminobutyrate B Receptor on Pain Sensitivity during Estrous CycleMahnaz Taherianfard, Rohollah GhorbaniProblem statement: There is a relationship between sexual hormones and pain sensitivity and also a role for hippocampal GABAB receptor in nociception. Therefore, the aim of the present investigation was to evaluate the effect of intrahippocampal injection of GABAB receptor agonist (baclofen) and GABAB receptor antagonist (CGP35348) on pain sensitivity during the estrous cycle. Approach: Forty eight adult female rats … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 26 Nov 2011 · 7,342 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProtective Effect of Enicostemma littorale Blume on Rat Model of Diabetic NeuropathyNiraj Mukundray Bhatt, Suparna Barua, Sarita GuptaProblem statement: Poor glycemic control and oxidative stress is implicated as a common pathway in the development of diabetic neuropathy. Approach: In the present study, we investigated the protective effects of Enicostemma littorale Blume (EL) (2.5 g kg-1), a hypoglycemic and antioxidant herbal medicine in alloxan-induced diabetic neuropathy in male Charles foster rats.
