Abstract
Peripheral mechanisms of endogenous pain control are significant. In peripheral inflamed tissue, an interaction between immune-cell-derived opioids and opioid receptors localized on sensory nerve terminals results in potent, clinically measurable analgesia. Opioid peptides and the mRNA encoding thei...
