Topographical distribution of substance P in the cat substantia nigra. 1979

C Gauchy, and J C Beaujouan, and M J Besson, and B Kerdelhue, and J Glowinski, and R Michelot

The substance P (SP) content in cat substantia nigra (SN) was estimated by radioimmunoassay in microdiscs punched on successive frontal sections. Only slight differences were seen in the regional distribution of SP within the SN. The highest content was found in the pars reticulata (20.7 pmol/mg protein) which was two times higher than in the pars compacta and pars lateralis. Identical results were found in the right and left part of the SN. Out of this area, as pedunculus cerebri and zona incerta, very low concentrations were detected.

D002415 Cats The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.

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.

D013378 Substantia Nigra The black substance in the ventral midbrain or the nucleus of cells containing the black substance. These cells produce DOPAMINE, an important neurotransmitter in regulation of the sensorimotor system and mood. The dark colored MELANIN is a by-product of dopamine synthesis.
