Colonic hyperalgesia triggered by proteinase-activated receptor-2 in mice: involvement of endogenous bradykinin.

abstract：:In neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease or HIV encephalitis, neuronal DNA fragmentation has been observed at unexpected high frequencies, without definitive evidence for activation of an irreversible apoptotic pathway. The wobbler mouse is a suggested genetic model of neurodegenerative disease. The ...
