TRPs in Pain Sensation
According to the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) pain is characterized as an "unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage". The TRP super-family, compressing up to 28 isoforms in mammals, mediates a myriad of physiological and pathophysiological processes, pain among them. TRP channel might be constituted by similar or dif...
متن کاملPain TRPs
Transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels are molecular gateways in sensory systems, an interface between the environment and the nervous system. Several TRPs transduce thermal, chemical, and mechanical stimuli into inward currents, an essential first step for eliciting thermal and pain sensations. Precise regulation of the expression, localization, and function of the TRP channels is cru...
متن کاملTrigeminal TRPs and the scent of pain.
The neurological mechanisms leading to headache pain are complex and poorly understood. Genetic studies of familial migraine conditions have provided important insights into the potential physiological causes underlying headache conditions. Familial cases of hemiplegic migraine have been linked to mutations in genes encoding for calcium channels, sodium–potassium ATPase and for sodium channel s...
متن کاملTRPs in Our Senses
In the last decade, studies of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels, a superfamily of cation-conducting membrane proteins, have significantly extended our knowledge about the molecular basis of sensory perception in animals. Due to their distinct activation mechanisms and biophysical properties, TRP channels are highly suited to function in receptor cells, either as receptors for environ...
متن کاملTesticular pain sensation in diabetic autonomic neuropathy.
Testicular sensation was examined in 32 male diabetics with symptoms suggestive of autonomic neuropathy to evaluate its usefulness as a clinical sign in this condition. Vascular reflex responses to the Valsalva manoeuvre and sustained handgrip and blood pressure fall on standing were measured as objective tests of autonomic involvement. Absent or diminished testicular sensation correlated well ...
