1 Cingulate Alpha-2A Adrenoceptors Mediate the Effects of Clonidine on Spontaneous Pain Induced by Peripheral Nerve Injury. Clonidine adrenergic receptor, alpha 2a Mus musculus
2 This blocking of cingulate alpha2A adrenoceptors activity abolished the CPP induced by clonidine (0.5 mg/kg intraperitoneally) but not the effects on PWTs at day 7. Clonidine adrenergic receptor, alpha 2a Mus musculus
3 However, clonidine applied systemically or specifically to the ACC at day 14 increased the PWTs but failed to induce CPP; this negative effect was reversed by the overexpression of cingulate alpha2A adrenoceptors. Clonidine adrenergic receptor, alpha 2a Mus musculus
4 These results suggest that cingulate alpha2A adrenoceptors are necessary for the analgesic effects of clonidine on spontaneous pain. Clonidine adrenergic receptor, alpha 2a Mus musculus
