Effects of spinally administered P2X receptor agonists and antagonists on the responses of dorsal horn neurones recorded in normal, carrageenan-inflamed and neuropathic rats

Stanfa, Louise C, Kontinen, Vesa K, Dickenson, Anthony H

The function and role of P2X receptors in the spinal transmission of nociception was investigated using the selective P2X receptor agonists, α,β-methylene ATP (α,β-me ATP) and...

The effect of ABT-702, a novel adenosine kinase inhibitor, on the responses of spinal neurones following carrageenan inflammation and peripheral nerve injury

Suzuki, Rie, Stanfa, Louise C, Kowaluk, Elizabeth A, Williams, Michael, Jarvis, Michael F, Dickenson, Anthony H

Adenosine (ADO) receptor activation modulates sensory transmission in the dorsal horn. Little is known about the circumstances underlying release of the purine. The present study was conducted to...
