Animal studies suggest that the neuropeptides, substance P and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), may influence carotid body chemoreceptor activity and that substance P may take part in the carotid body response to hypoxia. The effects of these peptides on resting ventilation and on ventilatory responses to hypoxia and to hypercapnia have been investigated in six normal humans. Infusions of substance P (1 pmol.kg-1.min-1) and of VIP (6 pmol.kg-1.min-1) were compared with placebo and with nitroprusside (5 micrograms.kg-1.min-1) as a control for the hypotensive action of the peptides. Both peptides caused significantly less hypotension than nitroprusside. Substance P and nitroprusside caused significantly greater increases in ventilation and in the hypoxic ventilatory response than VIP. No changes were seen in hypercapnic sensitivity. The stimulation of ventilation and the differential effects on ventilatory chemosensitivity that accompanied hypotension are consistent either with stimulation of carotid body chemoreceptor activity or with an interaction with peripheral chemoreceptor input to the respiratory center, as is seen in animals. The similar cardiovascular but different ventilatory effects of the peptides suggest that substance P may also stimulate the carotid body in a manner independent of the effect of hypotension. This is consistent with a role of substance P in the hypoxic ventilatory response in humans.
