Potts JT, Fong AY, Anguelov PI, Lee S, McGovern D, Grias I (2007) Targeted deletion of neurokinin-1 receptor expressing nucleus tractus solitarii neurons precludes somatosensory depression of arterial baroreceptor-heart rate reflex. Neuroscience 145(3):1168-1181. doi: 10.1016/j.neuroscience.2007.01.001
Summary: Previous work by these authors examined the role of substance P in arterial baroreflex. Here, 1.5 ng bilateral injections of SP-SAP (Cat. #IT-07) into the caudal nucleus tractus solitarii of rats were used to further elucidate the fundamental role of substance P in this system. The depressive effect of somatosensory input by neurokinin-1 receptor-expressing neurons on arterial baroreceptor-heart rate reflex was abolished in lesioned animals.
