Glutaminase Immunoreactivity and Enzyme Activity Is Increased in the Rat Dorsal Root Ganglion Following Peripheral Inflammation

<table>Glutaminase (GLS) enzyme activity in the L<sub>4</sub> DRG at 7 days AIA in the right hindpaw. GLS activity from the DRG of AIA rats (2.83 ± 0.30 moles/kg/hr) was elevated (*<svg height="11.375" id="M22" style="vertical-align:-0.1638pt" version="1.1" viewbox="0 0 58.712502 11.375" width="58.712502" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
