ATP (adenosine triphosphate), initially known as an intracellular energy source, plays an important role in intercellular communication in physiological and pathological conditions. This molecule appears to be important in the development of inflammatory hyperalgesia in the peripheral nervous system and is considered an important mediator in the communication between primary afferent neur…
Under certain pathologic conditions as peripheral tissue injury, sensory pathway can be modified. In this case, pain signal is followed by a process named hyperalgesia. This phenomenon is a result of nociceptive fibers sensitization, which cause decrease of threshold neuronal excitability. This reduction is due to action of several mediators produced by inflammatory process. These mediato…
