Figure Lengend Snippet: Mechanism of CXCL7-CXCR2 interaction in PVT Glu →BLA Glu neuronal circuit promotes the onset of obesity-related pain. In obese mice, elevated expression of the chemokine, CXCL7, results in the binding of CXCR2 receptors of PVT Glu neurons, thereby leading to increased activity in PVT Glu →BLA Glu neuronal circuit, which mediate obesity-related pain
