Recent studies have reported that TRPV1 activation is essential for establishing of inflammation in the neuropathy pain models, showing that the expression of this receptor is increased, and contributing to enhanced thermal sensitivity. Nypa fruticans Wurmb (NF), which was used as a folk remedy, is a plant that is gaining attention due to its various effects. In this study, we investigated the antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory effects of NFE (Nypa fruticans Wurmb extracts) by controlling the neurological function of TRPV1. In sciatic crush injury rat models, a significant level of antinociceptive effect was observed in the thermal hyperalgesia test in which NF extracts (NFE 500 mg\/kg) were orally administered, daily. Protein quantification of the sciatic nerve and the of the L4\u2013L6 spinal cord showed a decrease of the TRPV1 expression, the inflammatory expression factor, COX2, and proinflammatory factors in the NFE treated groups. Our results indicate that NFE affects antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory by controlling TRPV1 in sciatic neuropathic pain models.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu12010135","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,3]],"date-time":"2020-01-03T04:43:03Z","timestamp":1578026583000},"page":"135","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Antinociceptive and Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Nypa fruticans Wurmb by Suppressing TRPV1 in the Sciatic Neuropathies"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Mi-sun","family":"Kang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation medicine, Pusan National University Yangsan Hospital, Yangsan 50612, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kyung-Yae","family":"Hyun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Laboratory Science, Dong-Eui University, Busan 47340, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"E1","DOI":"10.3171\/foc.2004.16.5.2","article-title":"Pathophysiology of peripheral nerve injury: A brief review","volume":"16","author":"Burnett","year":"2004","journal-title":"Neurosurg.
