Dissecting the contribution of knee joint NGF to spinal nociceptive sensitization in a model of OA pain in the rat (2015)
Journal Article
Sagar, D. R., Nwosu, L. N., Walsh, D. A., & Chapman, V. (2015). Dissecting the contribution of knee joint NGF to spinal nociceptive sensitization in a model of OA pain in the rat. Osteoarthritis and Cartilage, 23(6), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joca.2015.01.010

Objective: Although analgesic approaches targeting nerve growth factor (NGF) for the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) pain remain of clinical interest, neurophysiological mechanisms by which NGF contribute to OA pain remain unclear. We investigated t... Read More about Dissecting the contribution of knee joint NGF to spinal nociceptive sensitization in a model of OA pain in the rat.

Simultaneous tissue profiling of eicosanoid and endocannabinoid lipid families in a rat model of osteoarthritis (2014)
Journal Article

We describe a novel LC method for the simultaneous and quantitative profiling of 43 oxylipins including eicosanoids, endocannabinoids, and structurally related bioactive lipids with modified acyl groups. The LC-MS/MS method uses switching at a define... Read More about Simultaneous tissue profiling of eicosanoid and endocannabinoid lipid families in a rat model of osteoarthritis.

Tonic modulation of spinal hyperexcitability by the endocannabinoid receptor system in a rat model of osteoarthritis pain (2010)
Journal Article
Sagar, D. R., Staniaszek, L. E., Okine, B. N., Woodhams, S., Norris, L. M., Pearson, R. G., …Chapman, V. (2010). Tonic modulation of spinal hyperexcitability by the endocannabinoid receptor system in a rat model of osteoarthritis pain. Arthritis and Rheumatism, 62(12), https://doi.org/10.1002/art.27698

Objective. To investigate the impact of an experimental model of osteoarthritis (OA) on spinal nociceptive processing and the role of the inhibitory endocannabinoid system in regulating sensory processing at the spinal level. Methods. Experiment... Read More about Tonic modulation of spinal hyperexcitability by the endocannabinoid receptor system in a rat model of osteoarthritis pain.
