Resumen

The effects of substance P on the morphine-evoked release of adenosine were examined. Substance P alone produced a multiphasic effect on release of adenosine, with release occurring at low nanomolar concentrations and at a micromolar concentration, but not at intermediate concentrations. An inactive dose of substance P augmented the morphine-evoked release of adenosine at a nanomolar concentration of morphine. Release of adenosine by substance P alone (1 nM) or substance P/morphine (100 nM/10 nM) was Ca2+- dependent and originated from capsaicin-sensitive nerve terminals.
