Pain and the biochemistry of fibromyalgia: patterns of peripheral cytokines and chemokines contribute to the differentiation between fibromyalgia and controls and are associated with pain, fat infiltration and content.
Frontiers in pain research (Lausanne, Switzerland) ·doi:10.3389/fpain.2024.1288024

ObjectivesThis explorative study analyses interrelationships between peripheral compounds in saliva, plasma, and muscles together with body composition variables in healthy subjects and in fibromyalgia patients (FM). There is a need to bett…

The Vastus Lateralis Muscle Interstitium Proteome Changes after an Acute Nociception in Patients with Fibromyalgia Compared to Healthy Subjects-A Microdialysis Study.
Biomedicines ·doi:10.3390/biomedicines11010206

Fibromyalgia (FM) is a complex disorder and a clinical challenge to diagnose and treat. Microdialysis is a valuable tool that has been used to investigate the interstitial proteins and metabolites of muscle in patients with fibromyalgia. Th…

Diurnal variation of inflammatory plasma proteins involved in pain.
Pain reports ·doi:10.1097/pr9.0000000000000776

IntroductionProteomics is a powerful approach for biochemical research because it directly studies the main functional components of biochemical systems. The understanding of the normal fluctuations of the proteome in health is essential to…

Multivariate modeling of proteins related to trapezius myalgia, a comparative study of female cleaners with or without pain.
PloS one ·doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0073285

The prevalence of chronic trapezius myalgia is high in women with high exposure to awkward working positions, repetitive movements and movements with high precision demands. The mechanisms behind chronic trapezius myalgia are not fully unde…

Identification of proteins from interstitium of trapezius muscle in women with chronic myalgia using microdialysis in combination with proteomics.
PloS one ·doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0052560

BackgroundMicrodialysis (MD) of the trapezius muscle has been an attractive technique to investigating small molecules and metabolites in chronic musculoskeletal pain in human. Large biomolecules such as proteins also cross the dialysis mem…
