Snake envenomation employs three well integrated strategies: prey immobilization via
hypotension, prey immobilization via paralysis, and prey digestion. Purines (adenosine …

In addition to the classical neurotransmitters, acetylcholine and noradrenaline, a wide
number of peptides with neurotransmitter activity have been identified in the past few years …

The physiologic response to stress is highly dependent on the activation of corticotropin-
releasing hormone (CRH) neurons by various neurotransmitters. A particularly rich …

This article provides an overview of the structure and function of substance P signalling
system and its involvement in the cardiovascular regulation. Substance P is an …

This study assessed the effects of intracerebroventricular administration of selective agonists
and antagonists for tachykinin NK1 and NK2 receptors on performance of mice in the …

The autoradiographic distribution of tachykinin NK2 binding sites was determined in the
adult rat brain using [125I] neurokinin A in the presence of either senktide (NK3 agonist) and …

Nausea and vomiting are both components of the body's defensive system to protect against
the effects of accidentally ingested toxins. Whilst these responses have survival value in the …

The neurokinins, substance P (SP) and neurokinin A (NKA) represent natural, nonspecific
ligands of NK1 and NK2receptors. In our study in conscious rats, we tested the hypothesis …

Several aspects of our 25 year adventure in the field of tachykinins will be successively
described. They concern: substance P (SP) synthesis and release in the basal ganglia, the …

The effect of selective neurokinin receptor (NKR) antagonists for the NK1R (SR140, 333),
NK2R (SR48, 968), and NK3R (SR142, 801) on the visceromotor response to noxious …
