In man trigeminal stimulation produces constriction of the pupil: this pupillary effect can be attributed to substance P (SP) release from trigeminal sensory nerve fibers [1]. In fact SP-1ike immunoreactive nerve fibers have been visualized in iris sphincter muscle [2]. This discovery has opened question about the pathophysiological role of SP in the human iris. Our radioimmunological and pupillopharmacological data have been carried out to clarify this problem.
