Porreca explained that, in this scenario, the threshold for nociceptor activation is lowered, and his team wanted to know if this "sensitization" was sex-dependent. To investigate, they sampled ...

The UA team tested how the nociceptor cells reacted to substances found in both men and women - prolactin, a hormone that causes lactation and breast development, and orexin B, which regulates sleep.
