[ 1 ] - Analgesic Effect of 17β-Estradiol on Nucleus Paragigantocellularis Lateralis of Male Rats Mediated Via GABAA Receptors
Introduction: Beside its autonomic functions, the nucleus paragigantocellularis lateralis (LPGi) is involved in the descending pain modulation. 17β-Estradiol is a neuroactive steroid found in several brain areas such as LPGi. Intra-LPGi microinjection of 17β-estradiol can elicit the analgesic responses. 17β-Estradiol modulates nociception by binding to estrogenic receptors as wel...
[ 2 ] - The antinociceptive effect of 17β-estradiol in the nucleus paragigantocellularis lateralis of male rats may be mediated by the NMDA receptors
Introduction: The nucleus paragigantocellularis lateralis (LPGi) is involved in the descending pain modulation. The neurostreoid, 17β-estradiol found in the PGi nucleus and modulates nociception by binding to estrogen receptors and also by allosteric interaction with NMDA receptors. In this study, the role of NMDA receptors in the 17β-estradiol-induced pain modulation was investig...
[ 3 ] - The role of GABAA receptors in the analgesic effect of intra-paragigantocellularis lateralis injection of 17β-estradiol in male rat
Introduction: 17&beta-Estradiol modulates nociception by binding to the estrogenic receptors and also by allosteric interaction with other membrane-bound receptors like glutamate and GABAA receptors. In addition to its autonomic functions, paragigantocellularis lateralis (LPGi) is involved in the pain modulation, too. The aim of the current study was to investigate the involvement of the membra...
[ 4 ] - نقش گیرندههای استروژنی هسته پاراژیگانتوسلولاریس جانبی در تعدیل درد القاء شده با فرمالین در موشهای صحرایی ماده
Background and Objectives: Since intra-paragigantocellularis lateralis (LPGi) injection of 17β-estradiol induces strong analgesia in male rats which might be mediated via estrogen receptors, this study investigated the role of estrogen receptors of LPGi nucleus in the modulation of formalin-induced pain (while being stimulated by 17β-estradiol) during estrus phase in female rats. Materials and...
