摘要:
The effect of intrathecally applied tachykinin antagonist D‐NicLys1, 3‐Pal3, D‐Cl2Phe5, Ama6, Trp7,8, Nle11‐substance P, spantide II, on the long‐term increase of spinal cord excitability after activation of unmyelinated muscle afferents was studied in decerebrate, spinalized, unanaesthetized rats. A conditioning stimulus train (1 Hz, 20 s) that activated unmyelinated fibres in the gastrocnemius muscle nerve facilitated the flexor reflex for about 1 h, which was strongly blocked by pretreatment with spantide II (3 µg). The present results indicate that the facilitation of the flexor reflex by conditioning stimulation of a muscle nerve is mediated by tachykinins and possibly other neuropeptides which may be released from the central terminals of these unmyelinated
