Increased content and transport of substance P and calcitonin gene-related peptide in sensory nerves innervating inflamed tissue: evidence for a regulatory function of nerve growth factor in vivo.

TL;DR: Findings point towards a regulatory function for nerve growth factor in vivo in the stimulation of sensory neuropeptide synthesis during prolonged inflammatory processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inhibition of neurogenic vasodilatation and plasma extravasation by substance P antagonists, somatostatin and [D-Met2, Pro5]enkephalinamide

TL;DR: The results further support the concepts that neurogenic vasodilatation and plasma extravasation are mediated by SP, and that somatostatin and opiates inhibit the release of SP from peripheral sensory nerve endings.

TL;DR: Findings point towards a regulatory function for nerve growth factor in vivo in the stimulation of sensory neuropeptide synthesis during prolonged inflammatory processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of capsaicin on inflammation and on the substance P content of nervous tissues in rats with adjuvant arthritis

TL;DR: Capsaicin (20-80 mg/kg, s.c.) reduced the inflammatory response to inoculation with Mycobacterium butyricum in the rat and attenuated the increase in substance P content in sciatic nerve, saphenous nerve, dorsal root ganglia, dorsal roots, and dorsal spinal cord which occurs in rats with adjuvant arthritis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increase of substance P in primary afferent nerves during chronic pain

TL;DR: Substance P was found to be increased in the sciatic nerve of rats suffering chronic pain due to adjuvant-induced polyarthritis, and this increase in primary afferents is assumed to reflect adaptive changes initiated by chronic noxious events such as inflammation.
