Effects of D-alpha-aminoadipate on physiologically evoked responses of cat dorsal horn neurones.

Microelectrophoretic administration of D-alpha-aminoadipate reversibly reduced excitatory responses of cat dorsal horn neurones evoked by iontophoretic glutamate and non-noxious peripheral stimuli but did not influence similar responses evoked by noxious peripheral stimuli or iontophoretic substance P.
