J Neurophysiol 121(6):2308-2322. doi: 10.1152/jn.00839.2018 PMID: 30995156

Objective: To find missing steps in understanding how peripheral injury instigates central sensitization and the onset of neuropathic pain.

Summary: Colony-stimulating factor 1 (CSF-1) increases excitatory drive to excitatory neurons via a BDNF-dependent mechanism and decreases excitatory drive to inhibitory neurons via BDNF-independent processes.

Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol 316(6):R776-R782. doi: 10.1152/ajpregu.00205.2018 PMID: 31042418

Objective: To analyze the cardiac hypertrophy phenotype and the classical and alternative RAS axes in the myocardium of mice submitted to swimming exercises of varying volume and intensity for the development of cardiac hypertrophy.

Summary: Increasing exercise volume and intensity did not induce a pathological hypertrophy phenotype, but instead improved the oxidative capacity, and this process might have the participation of the RAS alternative axis.

Mol Neurobiol 56(11):7408-7419. doi: 10.1007/s12035-019-1616-0 PMID: 31037647

Objective: To assess losartan’s analgesic effect on paclitaxel-induced neuropathic pain (PINP) in rats and its mechanism of action in dorsal root ganglion (DRG).

Summary: The mechanical thresholds, protein levels of inflammatory cytokines, and cellular location of AT1R and interleukin 1β (IL-1β) in the DRG were assessed with behavioral testing, Western blotting, and immunohistochemistry, respectively.
