Effect of Substance P on Venous Tone in Conscious Rats
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Substance P is an undecapeptide that belongs to the mammalian tachykinin family. We investigated the effects of substance P on venous tone in conscious rats through measurement of mean circulatory filling pressure. The effects of substance P (10 and 30 nmol/kg, IV) and the vehicle (0.9% NaCl) on mean arterial pressure, heart rate, and mean circulatory filling pressure were examined in 2 groups each of conscious rats: rats without or with ganglionic blockade through pretreatment with mecamylamine (10 mg/kg, IV) and norepinephrine (4 microg/kg/min, IV). In the unblocked rats, both doses of substance P reduced mean arterial pressure (-19 +/- 1 and -35 +/- 2 mm Hg) and increased heart rate (+113 +/- 14 and +115 +/- 23 beats/min). The high dose of substance P also decreased mean circulatory filling pressure (-1.7 +/- 0.3 mm Hg). In the ganglionic-blocked rats, both doses of substance P decreased mean arterial pressure (-48 +/- 6 and -73 +/- 6 mm Hg) and mean circulatory filling pressure (-2.9 +/- 0.4 and -4.2 +/- 0.8 mm Hg) but did not affect HR. In conclusion, substance P is a vasodilator peptide that has a prominent venodilator action.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
