Oropharyngeal Dysphagia in Older People is Associated with Reduced Pharyngeal Sensitivity and Low Substance P and CGRP Concentration in Saliva
Substance P (SP) and Calcitonine gene-related peptide (CGRP) are released by sensory nerve fibers in the oropharynx. Patients with oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD) present reduced oropharyngeal sensitivity and low...
