Location and distribution of nerve fibers immunoreactive to substance P were studied in the mouse olfactory mucosa. A moderately dense plexus of fibers is present at the interface of the olfactory epithelium and the connective tissue of the lamina propria. In addition, many immunoreactive nerve fibers are noted in close association with Bowman's glands and blood vessels in the lamina propria. However, such fibers were not observed in olfactory epithelium proper nor in the fila olfactoria. Substance-P-immunoreactivity is almost totally abolished by treatment of animals with capsaicin, an agent known to deplete substance P from primary sensory neurons. It is suggested that the substance-P-immunoreactive fibers are of sensory origin, with their perikarya most likely located in the trigeminal ganglia. Functionally, they might influence local blood flow and/or the secretion of Bowman's glands.
