Comparison of the effects of substance P, neurokinin A, physalaemin and eledoisin in facilitating a nociceptive reflex in the rat
Abstract
The postulated existence of different types of tachykinin receptor in the spinal cord provided the basis for the present study; substance P, neurokinin A, eledoisin and physalaemin were administered intrathecally in the awake, restrained rat to compare their effects on reaction time in the tail-flick test. Each peptide was delivered via a chronically implanted subdural catheter to the lower lumbar vertebral level of the spinal cord. Intrathecal …
