Substance P: From Pain to Cancer provides a complete discussion of substance P biology, its role in normal physiology and a variety of diseases. It provides an introduction to substance P and its pharmacology, followed by exploring its role across the human body including gastrointestinal function, cardiovascular function, learning and memory, emesis, respiration and sleep. It then discusses the critical role of substance P in several disease states including brain injury, neurodegeneration, seizures, depression and anxiety, cancer, musculoskeletal disorders, and viral infection, including COVID-19. The book closes with a look towards future perspectives for substance P.Substance P in Health and Disease is the latest volume in the Molecular Mediators in Health and Disease series and is an ideal reference for researchers across the life sciences interested in understanding the role of this multi-functioning mediator and its biological significance. Provides a comprehensive overview of the role of substance P across different organ systems, including the gut, the cardiovascular system and renal functionIncludes detailed coverage of the specific actions of substance P in various disease states and conditions, such as inflammation, cancer, neurotrauma, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease and viral infection including COVID-19Examines substance P as a modulator of pain perceptionIncludes expertise from a range of interdisciplinary areas including molecular biology, pharmacology, physiology, neuroscience, anatomy, and therapeutics INDICE: Part I: Introduction to Substance P 1.
