The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that temporomandibular joint (TMJ)
inflammation alters the excitability of trigeminal root ganglion (TRG) neurons innervating the …

Tachykinin NK3 receptors were characterized in the rabbit isolated iris sphincter muscle by
use of autoradiography and in vitro functional studies.[125I]‐[MePhe7]‐neurokinin B (NKB)(1 …

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of muscle fatigue induced by low-level isometric jaw-
clenching and subsequent glutamate-evoked muscle pain on the exteroceptive suppression …

Contraction of longitudinal muscle strips of the guinea-pig ileum induced by the selective
NK3 receptor agonist, succ-[Asp 6, MePhe 8] SP-(6-11)(senktide), were completely inhibited …

The atropine-resistant contractile action of the sensory stimulant drug capsaicin was
examined on guinea-pig ileum circular muscle in vitro, with special regard to the …

Purpose: This article describes the possible role of various peptides in producing pain and
inflammation in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Material and Methods: Current research …

The nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) diclofenac has local anesthetic-like and
peripheral N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist characteristics when …

The aim of the present study was to examine the role of NK1 and NK2 receptors in the
control of mechanical activity of mouse stomach. In this view, the motor effects induced by …

Three mammalian tachykinins (substance P, neurokinin A and B) and two non-mammalian
ones (eledoisin and physalaemin) produced potent con tractions of the isolated rabbit iris …

The mucocilisry activity of the rabbit maxillary sinus is increased after exposure to airway
irritants such as cigarette smoke and capsaicin. This effect is partly due to a cholinergic …
