Upregulation of glutamatergic transmission in anterior cingulate cortex in the diabetic rats with neuropathic pain.

abstract：:Previous studies established that glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) is present in the brain of higher vertebrates in two forms composed of the homodimeric association of two subunits 59 and 63 kDa, respectively, that were found to be structurally related. We have performed quantitative comparative immunoblotting of whole ...
