title: [Variation of substance P-like immunoreactivity in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid in the course of arthritis induced by Freund adjuvant in rats, a model for the study of chronic pain].
abstract: Parallel time courses of clinical and behavioural parameters and levels of plasma substance P-like immunoreactivity (SPLI-PI) were studied in arthritic rats (adjuvant induced arthritis, AIA, a chronic pain model). Acute (14 and 21 post-inoculation days,PI) and post-acute (42 days PI) phases of the syndrome were investigated. These data were compared with those obtained in a control situation (inoculation day). In a second experimental series, levels of substance P-like immunoreactivity in cerebrospinal fluid (SPLI-CSF) were determined at the same stages of AIA. In arthritic rats SPLI-PI was strongly enhanced (X4) as early as 14 days PI and remained increased (X4) at all stages studied, whereas SPLI-LCR was significantly increased (X2) only 21 days PI and returned to control levels at 42 days PI. These data suggest that SP could be distributed in two different pools, a peripheral one of inflammatory origin, and a central one which could be more specific to the chronic pain situation.
