Article Synopsis
- * The study examined the role of spinal Neuropeptide Y (NPY) in the pain-relieving effects of 2-PEA, discovering that activation of NPY1 receptors reduced pain while blocking them increased pain.
- * Antinociceptive effects of 2-PEA were reversed by NPY receptor antagonists and diminished by using a neurotoxin that decreased NPY levels, suggesting that the pain relief involves NPY acting through Y1 receptors in the spinal cord.
Aims: Rheumatoid arthritis brings great burdens to the patients. In addition to the highly expensive treatment, they are commonly associated with severe side effects. In such context, the research for safe and affordable treatments is needed.
