Substance P

Substance P in ovarian carcinoid.

A high content of substance P (124 ng/g wet tissue) was demonstrated by radioimmunoassay in lymph node metastases in a patient with bilateral ovarian carcinoid tumours. The plasma substance P level was elevated but urinary 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) was low. It is suggested that, in some carcinoid patients, an elevated plasma substance P level may help diagnosis and follow-up when urin...

Immunomodulatory Properties of Substance P

Communication between nerves and immune and inflammatory cells of the small and large intestine plays a major role in the modulation of several intestinal functions, including intestinal motility, ion transport, and mucosal permeability. Neuroimmune interactions at intestinal sites have been associated with the pathophysiology of infectious and enterotoxin-mediated diarrhea and intestinal infla...

NK 1 ( substance P ) receptor

Immunological characterization of two substance-P antisera with substance-P fragments and analogues [proceedings].

on the response of bone alkaline phosphatase to parathyrin. The results of a typical experiment showing percentage change in alkaline phosphatase activity compared with the hormone-free control are presented in Fig. 2(b). Tissue from 1-day-old animals was unresponsive to parathyrin, that from the 3-day-old animal showed decreased alkaline phosphatase activity and those from 5and 6-day-old anima...

Effects of substance P and substance P antagonists on rat salivary secretion.

The intra-arterial infusion of substance P produced dose-related responses of both parotid and submandibular salivary secretion in anesthetized rats. The substance P-induced secretion in both glands was inhibited by the substance P analogues [D-Arg1, D-Trp7.9, Leu11]-substance P and [D-Arg1, D-Pro2, D-Trp7.9, Leu11]-substance P, but not by [D-Pro2, D-Trp7,9]-substance P. The profiles of protein...
