Abstract excerpt
ATP-gated P2X receptors in nociceptive sensory neurons participate in transmission of pain signals from the periphery to the spinal cord. To determine the role of P2X receptors under injurious conditions, we examined ATP-evoked responses in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons isolated from rats with peripheral inflammation, induced by injections of complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) into the hindpaw. Application of...
