Bombesin, neuromedin C and neuromedin B given intrathecally facilitate the tail flick reflex in the rat
Abstract
Evidence from an earlier study suggested that bombesin, neuromedin C and neuromedin B may play a role in spinal nociceptive transmission; iontophoretic administration of these peptides onto dorsal horn neurones in the cat was found to preferentially depress those neurones activated by noxious stimulation. Therefore, to further examine the possible function of these peptides in the spinal cord, the present study compares the effects of …
