## Abstract The sacroiliac joint (SIJ) can be a source of low back pain. Calcitonin geneβrelated peptide (CGRP) has been reported to play a significant role in nociceptive processing. However, the occurrence of CGRPβimmunoreactive (CGRPβir) sensory nerve fibers in the SIJ has not been fully defined
Intracellular electrophysiological recordings were made in vitro at 36.5 degrees C from lumbar (L4 to L6) dorsal root ganglion neurones of 6-8-week-old female rats. Electrophysiological properties were recorded prior to intracellular injection with fluorescent dye. The following showed substance P-l
Immunoreactivity for calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) has been observed in both adult and embryonic rat motoneurons. However, the developmental pattern of CGRP expression in motoneurons has not been systematically examined and the role of CGRP in neuromuscular development is poorly understood.
