Photoperiodic variation in plasma extravasation was examined following exogenous perfusion of substance P over a vacuum-induced blister base on the rat hind footpad. The results showed a generalised suppression of plasma extravasation during the dark or active phase of the light/dark cycle which appears to be independent of the circadian fluctuations in endogenous corticosterone. These findings emphasise the need to consider photoperiodic conditions as a possible source of variability in neurogenic inflammatory responses.
