Distribution and binding sites of substance P and calcitonin gene-related peptide and their capsaicin-sensitivity in the spinal cord of rats and chicken: a comparative study. Export

@article{citeulike:1140262, abstract = {In a comparative study, the distribution and binding sites of substance P (SP) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in the spinal cord, and their susceptibility towards capsaicin pretreatment were studied in rats and chicken.
