| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
I developed a trigeminal neuropathic pain model in which the withdrawal threshold to mechanical stimulation of whisker pad was significantly decreased after inferior alveolar nerve injury. Therefore, I performed experiments to examine neuropeptide Y and its receptors (Y1, Y2, Y4 and Y5) expression using this neuropathic pain model. Expression of neuropeptide Y mRNA was significantly increased after inferior alveolar nerve injury. The expressions of neuropeptide Y receptors were also changed after inferior alveolar nerve injury.
