Anxiety Increases Acid-Induced Esophageal Hyperalgesia

Conclusions: Anxiety induction increases acid-induced esophageal hyperalgesia; anxiety, thus, facilitates central sensitization in the esophagus. Our studies provide a new model for studying the effects of anxiety on esophageal hyperalgesia and may allow testing of therapeutic strategies to reduce this effect

Differential effects of adenosine A1 receptor on pain-related behavior in normal and nerve-injured rats.

This study investigated the effects of N6-cyclopentyladenosine (CPA), a potent and selective adenosine A1 receptor (A1R) agonist in normal and nerve-injured rats and mechanisms of its action by behavioral tests and electrophysiological technique. The results showed: (1) In normal rats, intraperitoneal administration of CPA (1mg/kg) increased paw withdrawal latencies, in a way blocked by a selective A1R antagonist 8-cyclopentyl-1, 3-dipropylxanthine (DPCPX, 3mg/kg, i.p.), but had no influence on the threshold of mechanical stimulation

Mg attenuates chronic hypersensitivity and spinal cord NMDA receptor phosphorylation in a rat model of diabetic neuropathic pain.

We examined the effects of oral Mg supplementation (296 mg/l in drinking water for 3 wk) on the development of neuropathic pain and on biological and clinical parameters of diabetes in streptozocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. STZ administration induced typical symptoms of type 1 diabetes.

Inhibition of class II histone deacetylases in the spinal cord attenuates inflammatory hyperalgesia

Conclusions: Our data suggest that activity of class II HDACs in the spinal cord is critical to the induction and maintenance of inflammatory hyperalgesia induced by CFA, while activity of class I HDACs may be unnecessary. Comparison of the effects of HDACIs specific to class II and IIa as well as the expression pattern of different HDACs in the spinal cord in response to CFA suggests that the members of class IIa HDACs may be potential targets for attenuating persistent inflammatory pain
