Progesterone withdrawal-evoked plasticity of neural function in the female periaqueductal grey matter Lovick TA; Devall AJNeural Plast 2009[]; 2009 (ä): 730902Cyclical changes in production of neuroactive steroids during the oestrous cycle induce significant changes in GABA(A) receptor expression in female rats. In the periaqueductal grey (PAG) matter, upregulation of alpha4beta1delta GABA(A) receptors occurs as progesterone levels fall during late dioestrus (LD) or during withdrawal from an exogenous progesterone dosing regime. The new receptors are likely to be extrasynaptically located on the GABAergic interneurone population and to mediate tonic currents. Electrophysiological studies showed that when alpha4beta1delta GABA(A) receptor expression was increased, the excitability of the output neurones in the PAG increased, due to a decrease in the level of ongoing inhibitory tone from the GABAergic interneurones. The functional consequences in terms of nociceptive processing were investigated in conscious rats. Baseline tail flick latencies were similar in all rats. However, acute exposure to mild vibration stress evoked hyperalgesia in rats in LD and after progesterone withdrawal, in line with the upregulation of alpha4beta1delta GABA(A) receptor expression.|Animals[MESH]|Estrous Cycle/metabolism[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Hyperalgesia[MESH]|Interneurons/metabolism[MESH]|Neuronal Plasticity/*physiology[MESH]|Neurons/metabolism[MESH]|Pain Measurement[MESH]|Periaqueductal Gray/*physiology[MESH]|Pregnanolone/metabolism[MESH]|Progesterone/*metabolism/pharmacology[MESH]|Rats[MESH]|Rats, Wistar[MESH]|Receptors, GABA-A/metabolism[MESH]|Up-Regulation[MESH] |
