Example sentences for: neurokinin
How can you use “neurokinin” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Several inmunocytochemical, " in situ " hybridization and radioimmunoassay studies have demonstrated the distribution of tachykinins in the rat, the cat and the monkey CNS [ 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 ] . In the human brainstem, the presence of SP has been widely studied [ 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 ] . Moreover, in humans, the neurokinin B system has been studied in the cerebral cortex, hippocampus and the hypothalamus [ 28 ] . However, no data are available in the literature concerning the distribution of neurokinin-immunoreactive structures in the human brainstem.
2. The highest density of fibers and cell bodies containing neurokinin was generally observed in the dorsal part of the human brainstem.
The mammalian tachykinin peptides include neurokinin A (NKA), neurokinin B (NKB) and substance P (SP) [ 1 ] . It is known that these three neuropeptides have a common C-terminal amino acid sequence and that NKA and SP are derived from the preprotachykinin A gene, whereas NKB is derived from the preprotachykinin B gene.
Moreover, control sections were incubated in the primary antiserum previously absorbed by neurokinin A or neurokinin B. Inhibition of staining was obtained after preincubation of the first antiserum with neurokinin A (10 -4and 10 -5M) or with neurokinin B (10 -3M).
3. The widespread distribution of neurokinin-immunoreactive fibers and cell bodies indicates that neurokinin might be involved in several physiological functions, acting as a neurotransmitter and/or neuromodulator.
