Gao Q, Zhang Y, Wang X, Wang R, Zhang L (2024) Regulation of nociception threshold by norepinephrine through adrenergic α2 receptor in rat models of Parkinson’s disease. CNS Neurosci Ther 30(3):e14446. doi: 10.1111/cns.14446 PMID: 37721421
Objective: To investigate the effect of norepinephrine on the activation of brain cells through adrenergic α2 receptor, to regulate the nociception threshold in a 6-OHDA-induced animal model of Parkinson’s disease (PD).
Summary: The change of norepinephrine content can affect the activation of prefrontal and cingulate gyrus glial cells and participate in the regulation of nociception threshold in PD rats. Adrenergic α2 receptor agonist and central presynaptic membrane α2 receptor blocker both affect cell activation and improve hyperalgesia.
Usage: 4 μL of Anti-DBH-saporin was injected into the right lateral ventricle (1.25 μg/μL, 0.9% NaCl dilution), and injected at the rate of 1 μL/min.
