title: [Inhibition of gastric myoelectric activity and gastric motility by microinjection of substance P into dorsal vagal nucleus in rats].
abstract: The present investigation showed that microinjection of substance P (SP) into dorsal vagal nucleus inhibited gastric myoelectric fast wave and gastric motility. The effect could be blocked by SP antiserum or SP antagonist [Arg6, D-Trp7,9, N-Me-Phe8]-SP6-11 or vagotomy. Depletion of sympathetic transmitters by reserpine did not affect induction of the inhibition. The results indicate that both exogenous and endogenous SP of dorsal vagal nucleus decrease the gastric myoelectric fast wave and motility, which is mediated by vagus nerve.
