| Abstract: | Substance P-, somatostatin-, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide- and cholecystokinin-like levels were measured in lumbar dorsal and ventral cord of polyarthritic rats and compared with those obtained in vehicle-treated rats taken as controls. Polyarthritis decreased substance P concentration in lumbar ventral cord and increased cholecystokinin level in lumbar dorsal cord, while the other two peptides did not show any change. The results are discussed in relation to immunohistochemical data found in the literature. |
