A double immunofluorescence labeling method was used to study the localization of serotonin (5-HT)- and substance P (SP)-like immunoreactivities within neuronal fibers in the caudal spinal trigeminal nucleus of the rat. The 5-HT- and SP-immunoreactive fibers share extensive topographical overlap within the superficial laminae of the caudal trigeminal nucleus; however, the majority of stained fibers are immunoreactive for either 5-HT or SP, but not both simultaneously. A small population of fibers in which 5-HT and SP are co-localized is present and restricted to the marginal zone as well as the inner and outer layers of the substantia gelatinosa. The results of the present study suggest that fibers containing coexistent 5-HT and SP may be involved in the processing of nociceptive somatic sensation in the medullary dorsal horn of rat.

D012701 Serotonin A biochemical messenger and regulator, synthesized from the essential amino acid L-TRYPTOPHAN. In humans it is found primarily in the central nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, and blood platelets. Serotonin mediates several important physiological functions including neurotransmission, gastrointestinal motility, hemostasis, and cardiovascular integrity. Multiple receptor families (RECEPTORS, SEROTONIN) explain the broad physiological actions and distribution of this biochemical mediator. 5-HT,5-Hydroxytryptamine,3-(2-Aminoethyl)-1H-indol-5-ol,Enteramine,Hippophaine,Hydroxytryptamine,5 Hydroxytryptamine
D013373 Substance P An eleven-amino acid neurotransmitter that appears in both the central and peripheral nervous systems. It is involved in transmission of PAIN, causes rapid contractions of the gastrointestinal smooth muscle, and modulates inflammatory and immune responses.
