Influence of upper limb ischaemia-reperfusion injury on the regulation of cutaneous blood flow during local thermal hyperaemia
… forearm skin, as well as the contribution of sensory nerves in mediating the magnitude and kinetics of this response. When data were normalized for blood pressure and expressed as cutaneous vascular conductance (CVC) reliability was generally comparable across all skin sites. In non-glabrous …

KERATIN BIOMATERIAL SCAFFOLDS FOR PERIPHERAL NERVE REGENERATION
… of small defects (≤ 3cm) in small diameter sensory nerves only. Use of filler materials inside the conduit have been shown to increase the defect size in which conduits can be effective and can result in greater functional recovery in animal models.

A Fiber Count and Caliber Spectral Study of the Cat Ulnar Nerve and Some of Its Branches
… from his studies on various human motor and sensory nerves, found that the relation of axon diameter to total diameter of myelinated fiber was constant and had a lower limiting value of 0.30. He concluded that myelinated fibers are a group quite distinct from unmyelinated fibers.

Development and Characterization of a Mechanically Induced Temporomandibular Joint Disorder
… to mechanical stimuli of V3 trigeminal sensory nerves. Similarly, we found that prolonged jaw opening greatly stimulated expression of numerous cytokines in the spinal trigeminal nucleus at 2 and 24 hours when compared to control animals. Our findings provide evidence that 100% jaw …

Interaction Of Afferent Renal Nerve Activity And Il-1R Signaling In Hypertension
… to ablation of sympathoexcitatory afferent renal nerves, which are overactive under conditions of renal inflammation. Renal interleukin 1-beta (IL-1β) is elevated in many cases of hypertension, as well as the DOCA-salt model of hypertension, and its activity may be responsible for the elevation in …

Factors influencing the responsiveness of human bronchi
… following the activation of capsaicin sensitive sensory nerves, and the release of leukotrienes.<br/>Evidence is also provided for the relaxant effect of brain natriuretic peptide mainly regulated by the autocrine activity of epithelial cells. Furthermore, the contribution of neutral …

Evaluating local skin heating as an early detection method for small-fiber neuropathy in women with breast cancer receiving paclitaxel (Taxol®)
… showing that Taxol® affects small-diameter sensory nerves and provides the first evidence in humans that changes in small-fiber nerve function may be detectable after just 6 weeks of Taxol® therapy. Studies in larger samples are needed to validate these findings.

Investigation of non-traditional roles of the neural gut-brain axis
… central nervous system (CNS). This axis includes sensory nerves that send information from the GI tract to the brain and motor nerves that transmit descending information from the brain to the GI tract. Traditional research has focused on nutrient-induced changes in sensory neural signaling and …

Effects of Neurotrophic Factors on Osteoblast Growth and Differentiation
… are the most abundant neuropeptides present in sensory nerves in bone, the current studies were intended to test the hypothesis that these two neuropeptides may have direct effects on osteoblast growth, differentiation, and mineralization. Replicate cultures of murine calvarial osteoblasts were …

Distribution and function of TRP ion channels in primary sensory neurons
… CB1 receptor located on TRPV1-expressing primary sensory nerve fibres in peripheral tissues. However, we find no evidence of CB1 receptor immunoreactivity on nerve fibres in rat or mouse hindpaw skin and mesenteric artery. The CB1 receptor agonists anandamide and HU210 also fail to inhibit …

The effect of an exercise intervention on peripheral sensorimotor function in neuropathic diabetics
… the distal-to-proximal necrosis of peripheral nerves. Loss of peripheral sensory function, combined with confounding autonomic and neuromuscular complications, leads to an increase in the risk of plantar ulceration due to traumatic or repetitive loading. The evidence for the effectiveness of an …

Neural and Behavioural Consequences of Chronic Inflammation following Spinal Cord Injury
… velocity and signal amplitude in both motor and sensory nerves. The intervention significantly reduced serum concentrations of pro-inflammatory mediators in the treatment group (n=12) by 28%, while no significant change was found in the control group (n=8). Among other changes in amino acids, the …

Neuroanatomical Maps and Taste Reactivity to Sweet, Umami, and Bitter Taste in the PBN of C57BL/6J Mice
… produces a cascade of neuronal activation via sensory nerves that innervate the taste buds –branches of three cranial nerves (VII, IX, and X). These cranial nerves then synapse centrally in the nucleus of the solitary tract (NST) where the relayed taste information is kept relatively segregated …
