Thus, the antibody used, in the present work, principally recognizes NKA but shows some cross-reactivity with NKB.
Thus, the anti-NKB antibody (IHC 7357) showed the following crossreactivities: 100% for NKB, 2% for physalaemin, 1% for eledoisin, 0.6% for kassinin, 0.2% for substance P, 0.1% for NKA and 0% for neuropeptide K. Moreover, in the nuclei of the human brainstem in which NKB was observed, the density of the immunoreactivity for NKB was lesser than that found in the same nuclei for NKA (see and compare Figs.
However, in the rat, those authors did not find either NKA nor NKB in the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus and in the nucleus prepositus hypoglossi, in which, in humans, we observed NK-ir structures.
Several studies have shown the distribution of NKA (preprotachykinin A mRNA) [ 12 ] and NKB (peptide-2; preprotachykinin B mRNA) [ 14 16 17 20 ] in the CNS of the rat.
It is also known that the biological actions of NKA, NKB and SP are mediated by three receptors, named neurokinin (NK)-1, NK-2 and NK-3 [ 2 ] . Thus, the tachykinins have been implicated in several physiological actions such as salivation, the regulation of smooth muscle contraction, depolarization of central neurons, hyperactivity, interaction with dopaminergic A-10 neurons mediating behavioral activation, regulation of blood pressure, and the transmission of the baroreceptor reflex [ 3 4 5 6 7 ] . In addition, a loss of tachykinin-containing neurons has been described in neurodegenerative diseases [ 8 ] , suggesting that the decrease in the amount of tachykinins could be involved in these and other diseases [ 9 10 ] .
