Mechanisms underlying purinergic P2X3 receptor-mediated mechanical allodynia induced in diabetic rats
BACKGROUND Diabetic neuropathy is a common neuropathy associated with paresthaesia and pain. The mechanisms underlying the painful conditions are not well understood. The aim of this study is to investigate the participation of purinergic P2X3 receptors in painful diabetic neuropathy. RESULTS Diabetes was induced by an intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ). We showed that mechanic...
متن کاملEstrogen replacement suppresses stress-induced cardiovascular responses in ovariectomized rats.
We assessed the hypothesis that chronic estrogen replacement in ovariectomized rats has the beneficial effect of suppressing stress-induced cardiovascular responses through endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). We employed a radiotelemetry system to measure blood pressure and heart rate (HR). Female Wistar rats aged 11 wk were ovariectomized and implanted with radiotelemetry devices. After ...
متن کاملElucidating mechanisms underlying altered renal autoregulation in diabetes.
Previous studies have reported that high-salt intake paradoxically activates tubuloglomerular feedback (TGF) in type 1 diabetes. Using Zucker lean (ZL) and diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats on normal and high-salt diets, renal hemodynamics and the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) were characterized. On normal salt diet, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was higher in ZDF than ZL rats. Autoregulation of GF...
متن کاملNeurochemical mechanisms underlying responses to psychostimulants.
It is proposed to undertake a study to determine if differences in dopa-minergic reactivity among individuals could explain the variability in response to psychostimulants and to assess the relation of this reactivity to mental state and personality characteristics. Investigation of these relations may provide clues to the association between brain biochemistry and predisposition for drug abuse...
متن کاملCentral and peripheral mechanisms underlying gastric distention inhibitory reflex responses in hypercapnic-acidotic rats.
We have observed that in chloralose-anesthetized animals, gastric distension (GD) typically increases blood pressure (BP) under normoxic normocapnic conditions. However, we recently noted repeatable decreases in BP and heart rate (HR) in hypercapnic-acidotic rats in response to GD. The neural pathways, central processing, and autonomic effector mechanisms involved in this cardiovascular reflex ...
