The perilymph space of the guinea pigs cochlea was perfused with artificial perilymph solution containing 1 μg/μl SP receptor antagonist (D Arg 1, D Pro 2, D Trp 7,9 , Leu 11 ) SP (1 11) at a rate of 2.5 μl/min for 10 min while monitoring cochlear potentials evoked by 4 kHz tone burst.Results The perfusion of SP antagonist resulted in a suppression of the compound action potential of the auditory nerve (CAP, N1 P1), a prolongation of the N1 latency at threshold and suprathreshold levels, an elevation of the CAP threshold.Conclusions These results suggest that SP might play a role as a transmitter or modulator in the cochlear function.展开更多
