Immunocytochemical analysis of equine synovial membranes revealed presence of several neuropeptides, including substance P (SP), neurokinin A, and neuropeptide Y, in nerves of the radiocarpal, middle carpal, and metacarpophalangeal (fetlock) joints. Within the subsynovium, these neuropeptides were located perivascularly, whereas in the fronds, only neuropeptide Y was restricted to the vessels of the synovial membrane. Only SP and neurokinin A were found in the intimal layer. The intimal layer of the metacarpophalangeal joint contained more SP-immunoreactive fibers than were observed in the intimal layer of the radiocarpal joint. Substance P also was detected in the synovial fluid from all 3 joints, but mean +/- SD concentrations were significantly different only between the middle carpal joint (37.56 +/- 5.48 fmol/ml; n = 6) and the metacarpophalangeal joint (55.80 +/- 8.33 fmol/ml; n = 5) and between the middle carpal joint and the radiocarpal joint (52.43 +/- 14.60 fmol/ml; n = 7).
