Anxiety-Like Behaviors and Neuropeptide Y, Tachykinins and Beyond
Anxiety disorders affect a large number of individuals causing a heavy disease burden. Among peptide neurotransmitters, Neuropeptide Y (NPY) and tachykinin circuits are implicated in the pathophysiological basis of anxiety disorders and may represent ...

Bronchial epithelial cells release neutrophil chemotactic activity in response to tachykinins
, 1992 The purpose of this study was to determine whether substance P (SP), neurokinin A (NKA), and neurokinin B (NKB) induce the release of neutrophil chemotactic activity (NCA) from bovine bronchial epithelial cells (BBEC) and whether neutral endopeptidase ...

, 1996 As previously reported, alveolar macrophages (AMs) from ovalbumin-sensitized guinea pigs present an enhanced responsiveness to tachykinins but not to N-formylmethionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP).

Action of tachykinins in the rat hippocampus: modulation of inhibitory synaptic transmission
, 2003 Substance P and other neuropeptides of the tachykinin family can powerfully excite CA1 hippocampal interneurons present in the CA1 region. In the present work we show that, by exciting hippocampal interneurons, tachykinins can indirectly inhibit ...

Effect of PG-SPI and PG-KII, two novel and natural tachykinins, on salivary secretion in the rat
, 1996 In an in vivo study of salivation in rats, the scialogogic effects of two natural and amphibian tachykinins, PG-SPI and PG-KII, which activate distinct tachykinin receptors, were compared with those of the tachykinins substance P, neurokinin A and B, and

Receptors for mammalian tachykinins on isolated intestinal smooth muscle cells
, 1985 The existence of receptors for three mammalian tachykinins, substance P (SP), substance K (SK), and neuromedin K (NK), was examined in smooth muscle cells, isolated separately from the longitudinal and circular muscle layers of guinea pig ileum ...

, 2001 Intracellular recording techniques were used to test whether tachykinins could be mediators of slow excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) in guinea pig sphincter of Oddi (SO) ganglia.

Role of tachykinins in hyperpnea-induced bronchovascular hyperpermeability in guinea pigs
, 1991 Isocapnic dry gas hyperpnea causes bronchoconstriction in guinea pigs that is mediated by release of tachykinins from airway sensory nerves. Exogenous neuropeptides can induce microvascular leak.

Prostaglandin E2-induced bladder hyperactivity in normal, conscious rat. Involvement of tachykinins?
, 1995 In normal conscious rats investigated by continuous cystometry, intravesically instilled prostaglandin (PG) E2 facilitated micturition and increased basal intravesical pressure.

Action of tachykinins in the hippocampus: facilitation of inhibitory drive to GABAergic interneurons
, 2008 By acting on neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptors, neuropeptides of the tachykinin family can powerfully excite rat hippocampal GABAergic interneurons located in the CA1 region and by this way indirectly inhibit CA1 pyramidal neurons.
