This document discusses bioassay methods for quantifying histamine using isolated guinea pig ileum and anesthetized animal models. Histamine is synthesized in mast cells, enterochromaffin cells, and neurons. It mediates effects by binding H1-H4 receptors and causes symptoms like rash and bronchospasm upon mast cell release. Bioassay on guinea pig ileum determines histamine potency by recording contractions, which are induced by H1 receptor agonism. In anesthetized cats or dogs, a standard histamine dose producing a 20mmHg blood pressure fall is used to interpolate test sample doses. These bioassays allow estimation of histamine concentration and pharmacological effects in living tissues.
Bonded laboratories are suitable for large-scale manufacture of goods and require supervision from excise staff. They must have four distinct compartments and pay excise duty when goods are removed.

Neurotransmitters are chemicals that transmit signals between neurons. They are synthesized and stored in vesicles in the presynaptic neuron and released into the synaptic cleft upon neuronal stimulation. Neurotransmitters then bind to and activate receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, eliciting an electrical or biochemical response. In contrast, neuromodulators have a broader range of influence, altering signal transmission between many neurons through metabotropic receptors and volume transmission. Some key neurotransmitters include dopamine, GABA, norepinephrine, and serotonin.
Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that transmit signals between neurons. The document discusses the history and criteria for classifying a substance as a neurotransmitter. Neurotransmitters are classified based on their chemical nature as amino acids, amines, or others. They are also classified based on their function as either excitatory or inhibitory. The document provides examples of major neurotransmitters and where they are secreted in the body. It describes how neurotransmitters are transported, released, and taken back up at synapses. Finally, it discusses how neurotransmitters are inactivated after signal transmission.

I developed Ergomax C150, working closely with the late and great Dr. Roger Harris (1944 2024), and Prof. Erik Hultman (1925 2011), the pioneering scientists behind the landmark studies of creatine and athletic performance in the early 1990s.
Thirty years on, these are the slides I used at the Sports & Active Nutrition Summit 2025 to share the story, the lessons from that time, and how and why creatine will play a pivotal role in tomorrows high-growth active nutrition and healthspan categories.
3. Definition
Substance P is an undecapeptide(a peptide
composed of a chain of 11 amino acid residues)
belongs to the tachykinin family.
It is a neuropeptide,acting as a neurotransmitter
and as a neuromodulator.
It is closely related neurokinin A ,produced from
a polyprotein precursor.
It is widely distributed throughout the nervous
sytem of human and animal species.
5. SYNTHESIS
Peptides are synthesized through translation
and transcription process.
Substance P is synthesised in the endoplasmic
reticulum then transferred to the Golgi apparatus
for packaging and finallly transported to the cell
membrane for exocytic release.
It is present in high concentration in nerve
endings in selected region of the mammalian
brain.
6. DISTRIBUTION
Substance P stands for Preparation the
neurokinin type 1 receptor is distributed over
cytoplasmic and nuclear membranes of many
types of cells(neurons,glia,endothelia of
capillaries and lymphatics,fibroblasts,stem
cells,white blood cells)and many tissues and
organs.
It excites more cellular processes.
7. RECEPTOR
Tachykinin receptor TACR1
Neurokinin 1 receptor NK1R
Substance P receptor SPR
It is a G protein coupled receptor found in
CNS and peripheral nervous system.
8. RECEPTOR
Substance P is the Neurokinin
neurotransmitter selectively binds with the
NK1 receptor
NK1 receptor is have some affinity for other
tachykinins
9. MECHANISM
Substance P is synthesises by neurons
and transported to synaptic vesicles.
These are released by the depolarizing
action of calcium dependent mechanisms.
When NK1 receptor is stimulated,they can
generate various second
messengers..which triggers the various
effector mechanism that regulate cellular
excitability and function.
10. MECHANISM
The three well defined second messenger system
is stimulation:
1. Via phospholipase C of phosphatidyl
inositol,turnover leading to Calcium mobilization
from intra and extracellular sources.
2. Arachidonic acid mobilization via
phospholipase A2
3. cAMP accumulation via stimulation of
adenylate cyclase
11. FUNCTIONS
Substance P is a key first responder to most
noxious/external stimuli(stressors).
It is an immediate defence,stress,repair,survival
system.
13. FUNCTIONS
VASODILATION
Substance P is a potent vasodilator.
It is dependent on nitric oxide release.
It also has broncho constrictive
properties,administered through the non
adrenergic,non cholinergic nervous system.
14. FUNCTIONS
INFLAMMATION:
Substance P and other sensory
neuropeptides can be released from the
peripheral terminals of sensory nerve
fibers in the skin,muscle and joints.
This release is involved in neurogenic
inflammation which is a local
inflammmatory response to certain types
of infection or injury
15. FUNCTIONS
PAIN
It is due to the transmission of pain
information into the central nervous system.
Substance P coexists with the excitatory
neurotransmitter glutamate in primary
affarents that respond to pain stimulation.
16. FUNCTIONS
MOOD,ANXIETY,LEARNING
Substance P is associated with the
regulation of mood
disorders,anxiety,stress,reinforcement,neuro
genesis,respiratory
rhythm,neurotoxicity,pain and nociception.
17. FUNCTIONS
VOMITING
Vomiting center in the medulla called the
area postrema,contains high concentrations
of substance P and its receptors with other
neurotransmitters such as
choline,histamine,dopamine,serotonin and
opioids.
Their activationn stimulates the vomiting
reflex.
