Substance P: An Inflammatory Peptide

Role of substance P in inflammatory arthritis.

رابطه میان غلظت Substance P و Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide با لثه نواحی مختلف دندانی

زمینه و هدف: در مورد علت درگیری بعضی نواحی خاص لثه (نواحی دندان های 1 بالا و6 بالا و پایین) در برخی بیماری های پریودنتال، هیچ توجیه قابل توجهی عنوان نشده است. با توجه به این که مناطق یاد شده نزدیک فورامن های محل گذر اعصاب قرار دارند و با توجه به این که نوروپپتیدها که از انتهای اعصاب آزاد می شوند، نقش مهمی در برانگیختن التهاب دارند، همچنین از آنجایی که به نقش SP و CGRP در بیماری های پریودنتال اش...

Substance P and the neurokinins: novel peptide neurotransmitters in psychopharmacology.

A new neurotransmitter system is a family of 3 related peptides known as neurokinins. The best known of these is substance P. The others are known simply as neurokinin A and neurokinin B. The specific receptor subtypes that correspond to these 3 neurokinins are neurokinin 1 receptors for substance P, neurokinin 2 receptors for neurokinin A, and neurokinin 3 receptors for neurokinin B. These neu...

Gastrin-releasing peptide, substance P and cytokines in rheumatoid arthritis

Many studies have shown that modulation of cytokine function is effective in ameliorating symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. Neuropeptides have recently been shown to have powerful effects on the production and release of cytokines and have also been shown to exert potent proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory effects in animal models of inflammatory diseases. An analysis of cytokine and neuropep...

The role of substance P in inflammatory disease.

The diffuse neuroendocrine system consists of specialised endocrine cells and peptidergic nerves and is present in all organs of the body. Substance P (SP) is secreted by nerves and inflammatory cells such as macrophages, eosinophils, lymphocytes, and dendritic cells and acts by binding to the neurokinin-1 receptor (NK-1R). SP has proinflammatory effects in immune and epithelial cells and parti...
