Chronic pruritus is a major unmet clinical problem affecting one in four adults. G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are key driving itch signaling and therapeutic target for relief. The endosomal of GPCRs provides new challenges understanding how GPCR regulated, contributes to disease states like chronic opens targets development. Gastrin releasing peptide receptor (GRPR) mediator the spinal cord. Yet, little known about molecular mechanisms regulating GRPR pruritus, if can signal from...

Migraine represents one of the major causes disability worldwide and is more prevalent in women; it also related to anxiety symptoms. Stress, such as sound stress, a frequently reported trigger migraine patients, but underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. However, known that patients with have higher levels plasma inflammatory cytokines calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP). Stress mediated by unpredictable already used model painful sensitization, migraine-like behaviors sexual...

Central neuropathic pain is the main symptom caused by spinal cord lesion in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS), but its management still not effective. The transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) a detecting ion channel involved development. Thus, aim of our study was to evaluate role TRPA1 central nociception induced experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (RR-EAE) mouse model. In this model, we observed development similar clinical conditions RRMS C57BL/6 female mice...

Abstract Renal vascular reactivity to vasoconstrictors is preserved in sepsis opposition what happens the systemic circulation. We studied whether this distinct behavior was related α1 adrenergic receptor density, G protein-coupled kinase 2 (GRK2) and putative role of nitric oxide (NO). Sepsis induced female mice by cecal ligation puncture (CLP). Wildtype were treated with prazosin 12 h after CLP or synthase (NOS-2) inhibitor, 30 min before 6 CLP. In vivo experiments biochemistry assays...
