Journal ArticleDOI
Vanilloid receptor 1 expression in the rat urinary tract
TL;DR: Data indicate that primary sensory fibres expressing VR1 are extremely abundant in the rat urinary tract and that, in contrast to the skin, they belong almost exclusively to the peptide-containing sub-population of primary afferents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anandamide-evoked activation of vanilloid receptor 1 contributes to the development of bladder hyperreflexia and nociceptive transmission to spinal dorsal horn neurons in cystitis.
Paulo Dinis,Ana Charrua,António Avelino,Mohammed Yaqoob,Stuart Bevan,István Nagy,Francisco Cruz +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that anandamide, through activating TRPV1, contributes to the development of hyperreflexia and hyperalgesia during cystitis.
