Unilateral removal of the afferent fibers of the IXth and Xth cranial nerve (nodose ganglionectomy) caused significant decrease in the content of substance P-like immunoreactivity (SP-LI) and neurokinin A-like immunoreactivity (NKA-LI) in the nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS) of rats. Microinjection of SP (1 ng) or NKA (10-100 ng) into the NTS caused prompt, transient hypotension and bradycardia, suggesting that SP and NKA may be neurotransmitters of the baroreceptor reflex in the NTS. NKB-like immunoreactivity (NKB-LI) was also detected in the NTS of rats by radioimmunoassay, but its content in the NTS was not affected by unilateral nodose ganglionectomy. The microinjection of 1-10 ng of suc-[Asp5, Me-Phe8]-SP(6-11) (senktide, a selective neurokinin B receptor peptide) into the NTS caused long-lasting hypertension and tachycardia. These results indicate that NKB may also be a neuromodulator on cardiovascular responses in the NTS.
