Abstract
Studies the importance of metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) on peripheral sensory neurons in the modulation of nociceptive transmission. Indication of the rise of glutamate levels in peripheral tissues in response to inflammation; Role for mGluR subtypes 1 and 5 in models of chronic pain state; Expression of mGluR5 in sensory neurons.
