The formalin test for nociception, which is predominantly used with rats and mice, involves
moderate, continuous pain generated by injured tissue. In this way it differs from most …

pharmacological characterization and functions of CGRP, related peptides and their …

Background Despite the pervasiveness of migraine, the underlying pathophysiological
mechanisms initiating migraine attacks are far from well understood and are matter of …

Noxious stimuli are thought to modify the activity of several populations of central nervous
system (CNS) cells, which underlie the sensory-discriminative and motivational-affective …

Injections of calcitonin gene‐related peptide (CGRP) into the amygdala evoke fear‐related
behaviors and antinociceptive effects. In the present study we therefore characterized CGRP …

Calcitonin (CT) is a polypeptide hormone produced in the thyroid gland that regulates, blood
calcium levels and bone calcium metabolism. The unexpected finding of binding sites for …

The central nucleus of amygdala (CeA) plays an important role in pain regulation. Calcitonin
gene-related peptide (CGRP)-like immunoreactive fibers and CGRP receptors are …

Vgf, is a neuro-endocrine specific gene encoding for a large protein precursor of different
peptides. A role for VGF in pain modulation has been suggested from immunohistochemical …

The present study investigated the role of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) on
nociception in nucleus raphe magnus (NRM) and the interaction between CGRP and opioid …

The present study investigated the role of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in the
modulation of nociception in periaqueductal grey (PAG) of rats. Hindpaw withdrawal …
