The systemic anti-inflammatory effect induced by antidromic sensory nerve stimulation was investigated in rats and guinea-pigs. In atropine-pretreated rats, bilateral antidromic stimulation of vagal afferent fibres (8 Hz, 20 min, at C-fibre strength) inhibited plasma extravasation induced by 1% mustard oil on the acutely denervated hindlegs by 36.45+/-3.95%. Both the prevention of this inhibitory effect by cysteamine pretreatment and the stimulation-evoked rise of plasma somatostatin-like immunoreactivity in the two species suggest a mediator role of neural somatostatin. Since this response was blocked by systemic capsaicin pretreatment and slightly reduced after subdiaphragmal vagotomy, participation of thoracic capsaicin-sensitive afferents is indicated. In guinea-pigs pretreated with guanethidine and pipecuronium, antidromic sciatic nerve stimulation induced 45.46+/-5.08% inhibition on the contralateral leg and increased plasma somatostatin-like immunoreactivity. It is concluded that somatostatin released from the activated vagal capsaicin-sensitive sensory nerve terminals of the rat and somatic nerves of the guinea-pigs exerts a systemic humoral function.
