ionophoretic ejection of substance P (SP) activated 31% and suppressed 9% of hamster suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) cells in vitro. Hamster SCN cells did not demonstrate variation in sensitivity to SP across the circadian phases tested. SP modulated the response of 47% of hamster SCN cells to the excitatory amino acid (EAA) agonists glutamate and N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA). The results indicate that SP can alter both the spontaneous and EAA-evoked firing rate characteristics of hamster SCN neurons.
在体外,离子电渗法注射P物质(SP)激活了31%的仓鼠视交叉上核(SCN)细胞,并抑制了9%的该细胞。在测试的昼夜节律阶段,仓鼠SCN细胞对SP的敏感性未表现出差异。SP调节了47%的仓鼠SCN细胞对兴奋性氨基酸(EAA)激动剂谷氨酸和N-甲基-D-天冬氨酸(NMDA)的反应。结果表明,SP可以改变仓鼠SCN神经元的自发放电率特性和EAA诱发的放电率特性。
