Sensory Neuropeptides and Endogenous Opioids Expression in Human Dental Pulp with Asymptomatic Inflammation: In Vivo Study
PURPOSE This study quantified the expression of substance P (SP), calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), β-endorphins (β-End), and methionine-enkephalin (Met-Enk) in human dental pulp following orthodontic intrusion. METHODS Eight patients were selected according to preestablished inclusion criteria. From each patient, two premolars (indicated for extraction due to orthodontic reasons) were ...
متن کاملP2X receptors and nociception.
The potential importance for nociception of P2X receptors, the ionotropic receptors activated by ATP, is underscored by the variety of pain states in which this endogenous ligand can be released. Several important findings have been made recently indicating that P2X receptors can be involved in pain mechanisms both centrally and in the periphery. The roles of ATP at these two sites and the P2X ...
متن کاملP 127: The Role of CGRP in Dental Pulp Nerve repair
Tooth pulpal nerves include sympathetic and sensory nerves that originate from trigeminal ganglion .From the terminal of these sensory nerves neuropeptides are secreted that are neuromodulators and neurotransmitters. One of them is CGRP (Calcitonin gene-related protein) which has a vasodilatory effect on pulpal vessels. Near abscess and moderate injuries, this neuropeptide can lead to neural fi...
متن کاملSensory nerves and pancreatitis.
Sensory nerves are a kind of nerve that conduct afferent impulses from the periphery receptors to the central nervous system (CNS) and are able to release neuromediators from the activated peripheral endings. Sensory nerves are particularly important for microcirculatory response, and stimulation of pancreatic sensory nerves releases a variety of neuropeptides such as substance P (SP), calciton...
متن کاملPurines and sensory nerves.
P2X and P2Y nucleotide receptors are described on sensory neurons and their peripheral and central terminals in dorsal root, nodose, trigeminal, petrosal, retinal and enteric ganglia. Peripheral terminals are activated by ATP released from local cells by mechanical deformation, hypoxia or various local agents in the carotid body, lung, gut, bladder, inner ear, eye, nasal organ, taste buds, skin...
