Gardell LR, Vanderah TW, Gardell SE, Wang R, Ossipov MH, Lai J, Porreca F (2003) Enhanced evoked excitatory transmitter release in experimental neuropathy requires descending facilitation. J Neurosci 23(23):8370-8379. doi: 10.1523/JNEUROSCI.23-23-08370.2003
Summary: The authors examine whether afferent discharge produced by nerve injury and central changes in experimental neuropathic pain might interact at the spinal level. Rats were treated with 48 ng of dermorphin-SAP (Cat. #IT-12) and various markers for neuropathic pain were evaluated. The results link several consequences of the post-injury state, including support for increased afferent input as a driving force for neuropathic pain.
