OX2 receptors mediate the inhibitory effects of orexin‐A on potassium chloride‐induced increases in intracellular calcium ion levels in neurons derived from rat dorsal root ganglion in a chronic pain model

Abstract Aims Orexin‐A is known to induce anti‐nociceptive effects in animal models of chronic pain. We have found that orexin‐A inhibits KCl loading‐induced increases in the intracellular calcium ion levels ([Ca2+]i) in C‐fiber‐like neurons of rats showing inflammatory nociceptive behavior. Here, w...
