Abstract :
Secretoneurin is a neuropeptide that is stored in and released from primary afferent neurones. By radioimmunoassay and immunohistochemistry, secretoneurin was here demonstrated in the human dental pulp and localized in varicose nerve fibres that were frequently associated with blood vessels. No significant correlation was found between the levels of immunoreactive secretoneurin and immunoreactive calcitonin-gene related peptide. The results suggest that primary afferent neurones of the human dental pulp contain secretoneurin, which may influence local inflammatory responses if it is released together with other neuropeptides.
