Abstract excerpt
To evaluate the possible role of neuropeptide immunoreactive primary sensory neurons on the development of nociceptive dysfunction in diabetes, the absolute numbers of immunoreactive substance P and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) dorsal root ganglion (DRG) cell bodies were estimated in diabetic and nondiabetic BALB/C (p75(+/+)) and p75 receptor knockout (p75(-/-)) mice with unilateral sciatic nerve crush....
