TRPA1 channels mediate acute neurogenic inflammation and pain produced by bacterial endotoxins

TL;DR: This work shows that LPS exerts fast, membrane delimited, excitatory actions via TRPA1, a transient receptor potential cation channel that is critical for transducing environmental irritant stimuli into nociceptor activity, and finds that pain and acute vascular reactions, including neurogenic inflammation (CGRP release) caused by LPS are primarily dependent onTRPA1 channel activation in nocICEptive sensory neurons, and develop independently of TLR4 activation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interleukin-6 regulates the expression of hypothalamic neuropeptides involved in body weight in a gender-dependent way.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that IL‐6 may regulate the expression of hypothalamic neuropeptides involved in the control of body weight and body fat acting at the central level in a gender‐ and age‐dependent way.
Journal ArticleDOI

Muscle-specific interleukin-6 deletion influences body weight and body fat in a sex-dependent manner

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that muscle IL-6 controls body weight and body fat in a sex-specific fashion, influencing the expression of the main neuropeptides involved in energy homeostasis.
