  • Vagal Afferent Neurons as Targets for Treatment
    Publication number: 20090048194
    Abstract: A method of identifying a compound capable of reducing or preventing prolonged sensory neuron hyper-excitability comprising the steps of: (a) administering the compound to an experimental non-human animal having prolonged sensory neuron hyper-excitability; (b) generating an expression profile of the genes modulated in the Nodose Ganglia (NG) of the animal of step (a); (c) comparing the expression profile obtained in (b) with the expression profile of a corresponding panel of genes expressed in the NG of an experimental non-human animal having no prolonged sensory neuron hyper-excitability; wherein a positive correlation of the expression profiles is indicative that the compound is capable of reducing or preventing prolonged sensory neuron hyper-excitability in NG.
