The spatial location of neutral endopeptidase 24.11 (NEP) immunoreactivity was compared to that of substance P (SP), SP receptor (NK-1r) and identified gastric efferent neurons in the dorsal vagal complex in rat brainstem. The majority of NEP labeling was observed caudal to the obex. Neutral endopeptidase-immunoreactivity was associated with the central canal, ependyma and blood vessels, and surrounded the area postrema. A comparison of the results of immunocytochemical and retrograde tracing experiments demonstrated the absence of co-labeling of neurons or their process with NEP and either substance P or NK-1r. Furthermore, no NEP-immunoreactivity was observed in the vicinity of identified gastric efferents in the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus. These results would suggest that NEP does not degrade SP in the vicinity of gastric efferent neurons.
