Effect of 5-HT and Somatostatin on SP and Chronic Pain Initiated Electrical Activity of Neurons in Spinal Dorsal Horn[J]. Acupuncture research, 1996, (3): 27-31.DOI:
The effects of SP on the electric activities of neurons of spinal dorsal horn and the influence of 5-HT
somatostat in (SOM ) on the effects of SP were observed in anesthet ized rats with multimicropipeteand iontophoresis techniques. It was found that. (1 ) The m icroiontop horetically administrating of SPcould increase spinal dorsal horn unit discharge. (2) The noxious electrical activity of neurons inducedby formalin could be inhibited by microiontophoretically applied SP. (3 ) The mi croiontophoretically ad -ministrating of 5-HT and SOM could inhibit the SP and formalin evoked unit discharge of neurons inspinal dorsal horn. It was suggested that SP took a double-effect part in modulation of pain transmissionand analgesia in spinal cord
5-HT and SOM inhibited the effect of SP and participated in pain modula-tion of SP.
