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

OBJECTIVES: This 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 be…

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

INTRODUCTION: Proteomics 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 …

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

BACKGROUND: Microdialysis (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 m…
