Abstract
Substance P in a dose of 0.1-10 ng injected into the nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS) of the rat caused hypotension, bradycardia and apnea whereas a dose of 100 ng led to no response. A substance P antagonist injected into the NTS abolished the cardiovascular responses to substance P. The antagonist alone increased blood pressure and heart rate. The data suggest a role for substance P in the cardiovascular regulation by the NTS.Entities:
