,
April 2004 in “Journal of Neurochemistry” In this study, acute restraint stress increased Y1 receptor gene expression in the amygdala and PVN of transgenic mice, but this effect was not due to elevated neuroactive steroid concentrations, indicating a potential ligand-induced mechanism.
80 citations
,
December 1996 in “Pain” This study found that spinal strychnine enhances low threshold tactile responses in cat dorsal horn neurons, which may mirror pain states in humans that are less responsive to opioid treatments.
