IB4 (+) neurons contribute to force-induced cancer pain but not cancer proliferation

Ye Y, Viet CT, Dang D, Schmidt BL (2012) IB4 (+) neurons contribute to force-induced cancer pain but not cancer proliferation. Neuroscience 2012 Abstracts 67.10. Society for Neuroscience, New Orleans, LA. Summary: The primary treatment for cancer pain is μ-opiates; however, often μ-opiates are not effective and they produce multiple debilitating side effects. Recent studies

Lateral and fourth ventricular phloridzin injections stimulate feeding but do not produce hyperglycemia.

Li A-J, Wang Q, Smith BR, Ritter S (2012) Lateral and fourth ventricular phloridzin injections stimulate feeding but do not produce hyperglycemia. Neuroscience 2012 Abstracts 93.18. Society for Neuroscience, New Orleans, LA.
