Prevention of extracellular ADP-induced ATP accumulation of the cultured rat spinal astrocytes via P2Y(1)-mediated inhibition of AMPK.

abstract：:We have investigated the effect of capsaicin pretreatment (50 mg kg(-1) s.c.) on substance P, preprotachykinin (PPT) mRNA, and nerve growth factor (NGF), plus its high-affinity receptor, trkA, in adult rats with adjuvant arthritis. Twenty one days after induction of adjuvant arthritis, sciatic nerve levels of substanc...

Behavioral control in the cat occurs, at least in part, through control of the brainstem respiratory neurons that constitute the automatic system. Thus, when inspiration is inhibited behaviorally, inspiratory neurons in the medulla are inactivated. Reported here...
