| Abstract | |
The aims of this study were:(1) To verify whether local administration of E2 prostaglandin (PGE2) in peripheral tissue increases the anti-hyperalgesic effect of mu opioid receptor activation and whether this effect is mediated by an increased expression of mu opioid receptor (2) To test if the anti-hyperalgesic effect of the activation of mu opioid receptor in peripheral tissue is associated with the decrease of C-fibers excitability. According to the objective(1)... Note: The complete abstract is available with the full electronic document (AU) | |
