Effects of NOP receptor agonist and novel mixed NOP/mu opioid receptor agonist on migraine-like symptoms in mice
Migraine is a neurological disorder manifested by throbbing pain, allodynia, as well as light sensitivity (photophobia). Despite continuing research, the pathogenesis of the disease is not precisely understood. Structures implicated in migraine formation, including the trigeminal ganglia and trigeminal nucleus caudalis, exhibit a particularly high expression of Nociceptin Opioid (NOP) receptors. The aim of the study was to compare the effect of selective and non-selective NOP receptor agonists on acute migraine symptoms induced by systemic administration of nitroglicerin (NTG). NTG induces mig
