Nitric Oxide Stimulates Acute Pancreatitis Pain via Activating the NF-κB Signaling Pathway and Inhibiting the Kappa Opioid Receptor

Pain is the most important clinical feature of acute pancreatitis (AP); however, its specific mechanism is currently unclear. In this study, we showed that AP caused an increase in nitric oxide (NO) secretion, activated the NF-κB pathway in the dorsal root ganglia (DRGs), and caused pain. We establi...
