Nociceptin/orphanin FQ evokes knee joint pain in rats via a mast cell independent mechanism.

abstract：:Repeated stress triggers a wide range of adaptive changes in the central nervous system including the elevation of serotonin (5-HT) metabolism and an increased susceptibility to affective disorders. To begin to examine whether these changes are mediated by alterations in gene expression for tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH...
