Regulatory mechanism of the gastric hyperemic response following barrier disruption: roles of cyclooxygenase-1, the prostaglandin E2/EP1 receptor and sensory neurons.

abstract：:Opiates lack potent analgesic efficacy in neuropathic pain although it is now generally accepted that the poor effect of these drugs reflects a reduction in their potency. Reduction of morphine antinociceptive potency was postulated to be due to the fact that nerve injury altered the activity of opioid systems or opio...
