| Research Abstract |
The results of the present study show that heat-activated K^+ channel currents in DRG neurons are inhibited by both PKC and PKA as mediated via alpha1 and beta adrenergic receptors, respectively. This may represent a new insight into regulation of thermosensation via a noradrenergic pathway, leading to revealing the mechanisms of neurogenic pain.
