Second, we contrast Kirzner’s idea of entrepreneurship as discovery with a more realistic, and o...

Is the pain modulatory action of 17β-estradiol in locus coeruleus of male rats is mediated by GABAA receptors?

Introduction: Estradiol is a neuroactive steroid, which is found in several brain areas such as locus coeruleus (LC). Estradiol modulates nociception by binding to its receptors and also by allosteric interaction with other membranebound receptors like glutamate and GABAA receptors. LC is involved in noradrenergic descending pain modulation. Methods: In order to study the effect of 17β-estra...
