摘要: Substance P (SP)- and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)-immunoreactivity (-IR) were localized by immunohistochemistry in the same nerve cell bodies trigeminal ganglia as well terminals of dental pulp. The distribution SP- CGRP-IR nerves identical pulp mainly associated with blood vessels. level pulp, measured radio-immunoassay (RIA), was 1.4 +/- 0.2 pmol g-1 wet wt, which is range that found for substance P. Local intra-arterial infusion synthetic CGRP produced vasodilatation both laser Doppler flowmetry an 125I clearance technique. effective a vasodilator when infused femtomole per minute range, SP picomole range. effect (50 fmol min-1) 10 times larger given after (15 than before it. Since two peptides coexist neurons, it suggested they contribute to vasodilation seen upon antidromic stimulation sensory nerves.
