abstract：:The gene expression of cholecystokinin (CCK), a neuropeptide with anti-opioid properties, has been reported to be upregulated in some primary sensory neurons after a peripheral nerve lesion. We have recently demonstrated that the upregulation of CCK mRNA is not accompanied by an increased potassium-evoked release CCK-...
