| Research Abstract |
We studied the mechanism underlying leptin release from adipocytes, which is a mediator for the induction of neuropathic pain underlying of neuropathic pain. The present results indicated that HMGB1, high mobility group box 1 was released from injured peripheral nerve tissue and then, acted on adipocytes to promote leptin release. It was elucidated that HMGB1 was an immediate early mediator for induction of neuropathic pain.
