  2. 1. Estrogen receptor expression in relation to pain modulation and transmission : experimental studies in rats

    Author : Åsa Amandusson; Anders Blomqvist; Kaj Fried; Ola Hermanson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medical cell biology; Medicinsk cellbiologi; Medical Cell Biology; Medicinsk cellbiologi; MEDICINE;

    Abstract : Estrogens have a remarkably wide range of actions in the mammalian brain. They not only play a pivotal role in reproductive behavior and sexual differentiation, but also contribute to e.g. thermoregulation, feeding, memory, neuronal survival and the perception of somatosensory stimuli.

  4. 2. Tetrodotoxin-resistant sodium channels in neuropathic pain

    Author : Jenny Fjell Hjelmström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : spinal sensory neurons; nociceptor; IB4; tetrodotoxin; sodium channels; SNS PN3; NaN SNS2; gene regulation; NGF; GDNF; in situ hybridization; immunofluorescence; sodium currents; neuropathic pain models; Taiep;

    Abstract : Injury to the peripheral nervous system can cause neuropathic pain. Abnormal sodium channel activity has been implicated as a source of ectopic firing and changes in nociceptive threshold following nerve injury. READ MORE

  5. 3. Galanin in the pituitary and in human circulation : clinical and experimental studies

    Author : Eva Grenbäck; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The neuropeptide galanin has important roles in the central and peripheral nervous systems where it affects memory, seizure activity, appetite and pain transmission. Galanin is also present in the endocrine system and one of its most prominent effects is to stimulate the release of growth hormone (GH). READ MORE

  6. 4. Neuropeptides, sensory neurons and pain modulation

    Author : Pablo R Brumovsky; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In the present thesis work we have analyzed the expression, regulation and function of two neuropeptides: galanin and neuropeptide tyrosine (NPY). Their associated receptors, galanin receptor-1 and -2 (GaIR1, -R2) and NPY Y1- and Y2R, were also studied. READ MORE

  7. 5. Pain-related sodium channels in sensory neurons : gene expression during development and after injury

    Author : Jonas Thun; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Pain that goes on over years as a result of nerve damage is an affliction which disables millions of people worldwide. Chronic injury-induced pain can become severely debilitating and extremely difficult to treat. READ MORE
