Bridging Metabolomics and Nociception: The Arachidonic Acid–NMDA Receptor Axis in Burning Mouth Syndrome
The Arachidonic Acid (AA)-NMDA Receptor Axis describes a crucial neurochemical pathway where glutamate activation of NMDA receptors releases AA. AA binds directly to NMDA receptor subunits, increasing their open probability and also affecting other receptors and cellular processes, linking neuronal activity to lipid signalling.
