Role of nociceptor estrogen receptor GPR30 in a rat model of endometriosis pain
Pain ·doi:10.1016/j.pain.2014.09.035

Endometriosis, the most common cause of chronic pelvic pain, is an estrogen-dependent disease in which classic estrogen receptors (ERα, ERβ) play an important role. Although recent evidence suggests that the novel G protein-coupled estrogen…

Vascular endothelial cells mediate mechanical stimulation-induced enhancement of endothelin hyperalgesia via activation of P2X2/3 receptors on nociceptors
The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience ·doi:10.1523/JNEUROSCI.3229-12.2013

Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is unique among a broad range of hyperalgesic agents in that it induces hyperalgesia in rats that is markedly enhanced by repeated mechanical stimulation at the site of administration. Antagonists to the ET-1 receptors, …
