Substance P Mediates Proinflammatory Cytokine Release From Mesenteric Adipocytes in Inflammatory Bowel Disease PatientsSummary

Background & Aims: Substance P (SP) neurokinin-1 receptors (NK-1Rs) are expressed in mesenteric preadipocytes, and SP binding activates proinflammatory signaling in these cells. We evaluated the expression levels of SP (Tac-1), NK-1R (Tacr-1), and NK-2R (Tacr-2) mRNA in preadipocytes isolated fr...
