Human acute myeloid leukemia cells express Neurokinin-1 receptor, which is involved in the antileukemic effect of Neurokinin-1 receptor antagonists [PDF]
The substance P/neurokinin-1 receptor system has been implicated in tumor cell proliferation. Neurokinin-1 receptor has been identified in different solid tumors but not frequently in hematopoietic malignant cells.

Tachykinin neuropeptides in cerebellar granule neurons: an immunocytochemical study
We previously demonstrated that exogenously administered neurokinin A and neurokinin B, but not substance P, increased the sensitivity of cultured cerebellar granule neurons (CGNs) to glutamate.

Expression of substance P, neurokinin 1 receptors(NK1) and neurokinin 3 receptors in the developing mouse retina and in the retina of NK1 knockout mice [PDF]
—To complete a series of studies on the expression of substance P and neurokinin receptors in mammalian retinas, we investigated the occurrence of these molecules in developing mouse retinas and in retinas of mice with genetic deletion of the ...

Molecular characterisation, expression and localisation of human neurokinin-3 receptor [PDF]
The complete amino acid sequence of the human neurokinin-3 receptor was deduced by DNA sequence analysis of human genomic fragments. Comparison of the predicted primary structure with those for the human neurokinin receptors 1 and 2 shows a highly ...

Substance P selectively decreases paired pulse depression in the rat hippocampal slice
Background Although being widespread in the hippocampus, the role tachykinins play in synaptic transmission is unclear. The effect of substance P on field potentials evoked by stimulation of the Schaffer collateral-commissural fibres and recorded from ...

Neuropeptide modulation of lymphatic smooth muscle tone in the canine forelimb
Neurokinin A and B are putative inflammatory mediators. We assessed their ability to alter prenodal lymphatic resistance. Intralymphatic neurokinin A (3.0 × 10−6, 3.0 × 10−5 and 3.0 × 10−4 mol l−1) significantly constricted lymphatics at the two highest ...

Possible causes and treatment strategies for the estrus and ovulation disorders in dairy cows
The reproductive performance of dairy cows has declined, along with an increase in their milk yield. First-service conception rates in lactating dairy cows are often lower than 50%.

Neurokinin B levels in maternal circulation during early pregnancy [PDF]
Neurokinin B levels were measured between the 10th-20th weeks of pregnancy, i.e., prior to the development of clinical symptoms, in women who developed preeclampsia or delivered a growth-restricted baby.
