Differential involvement of conotoxin-sensitive mechanisms in neurogenic vasodilation responses: Effects of age

During aging there is a decline in sensory nerve function that is associated with reduced neurogenic inflammation and poor wound repair. The cellular mechanism(s) responsible for this decline in function with age is not well understood.
