The present study investigated the label distribution in several brain regions, as well as in the peripheral circulation, following injection of labelled tachykinins [( 3H]-substance P, [3H]-eledoisin or [125I]-neurokinin A) into the lateral cerebroventricle of the rat. A widespread label distribution, extending as far as to the brainstem, was detected. Hypothalamus, striatum and hippocampus were the most labelled regions by the 3 labels; however the patterns of distribution of the 3 labelled tachykinins showed marked differences. Distribution in the brain was rapid, reaching a maximum usually within 2 min after injection and declining slightly afterwards. Large amounts of label (1/6-1/15 of the total amount injected) were detected in serum even at 2 min after injection and increased thereafter, reaching a maximum at 10-15 min.

D004600 Eledoisin A peptide extracted from the posterior salivary glands of certain small octopi (Eledone spp., Mollusca), or obtained by synthesis. Its actions resemble those of SUBSTANCE P; it is a potent vasodilator and increases capillary permeability. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p1364)
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

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.

D015288 Neurokinin A A mammalian neuropeptide of 10 amino acids that belongs to the tachykinin family. It is similar in structure and action to SUBSTANCE P and NEUROKININ B with the ability to excite neurons, dilate blood vessels, and contract smooth muscles, such as those in the BRONCHI. Substance K,Neurokinin alpha,Neuromedin L
D015320 Tachykinins A family of biologically active peptides sharing a common conserved C-terminal sequence, -Phe-X-Gly-Leu-Met-NH2, where X is either an aromatic or a branched aliphatic amino acid. Members of this family have been found in mammals, amphibians, and mollusks. Tachykinins have diverse pharmacological actions in the central nervous system and the cardiovascular, genitourinary, respiratory, and gastrointestinal systems, as well as in glandular tissues. This diversity of activity is due to the existence of three or more subtypes of tachykinin receptors. Tachykinin
