Dietary constituent genistein inhibits the hyperexcitability of trigeminal nociceptive neurons associated with mechanical hyperalgesia following orofacial inflammation
ConclusionHerein, we present the first evidence that genistein attenuates hyperexcitability of SpVc neurons associated with inflammatory mechanical hyperalgesia. These findings suggest that genistein could be a potential therapeutic agent in complementary alternative medicine for the prevention of trigeminal inflammatory hyperalgesia.
