[Neuropeptides: their role in nasal physiology].
In a review of the literature, the authors have studied the biochemical aspects of the sensory physiology of the nasal mucosa. In a previous publication, the abundant presence of neuropeptides in the afferent sensory nerves of the pituitary gland was studied. In this work, the authors have sought to determine the physiological role of these molecules in transmitting messages of aggression, and their implication in the defense mechanisms.
