Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) was applied by iontophoresis onto physiologically characterized neurons. CGRP (20-100 nA) activated both wide-dynamic-range (5/8) and low-threshold mechanoreceptive units (3/12), but had no effect on nociceptive-specific neurons (0/4). The excitation was of slow onset (30 s to 3 min) and prolonged duration (up to 10 min). In none of the tested units did CGRP cause inhibition. The slow and prolonged action suggests a neuromodulatory role for CGRP in spinal cord sensory processes.
通过离子电渗法将降钙素基因相关肽(CGRP)施加于具有生理学特征的神经元上。CGRP(20 - 100纳安)激活了宽动态范围神经元(5/8)和低阈值机械感受单位(3/12),但对伤害性特异性神经元无影响(0/4)。兴奋起效缓慢(30秒至3分钟)且持续时间延长(长达10分钟)。在所测试的单位中,CGRP均未引起抑制作用。这种缓慢且持久的作用表明CGRP在脊髓感觉过程中具有神经调节作用。
