Molecular and cellular mechanisms of nociception in equine laminitis : purinergic P2X receptors expression and distribution
2013-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Equine laminitis manifests as a painful condition of the foot and is characterised by disruption of the dermo-epidermal lamellar bond within the equine hoof. Chronic pain in laminitis leads to debilitation and if unchecked euthanasia of the horse and is therefore a significant welfare issue for horses worlwide. P2X receptors are shown to have a pivotal role in pain pathways as well as other tissue functions making...
