Multiple co-existence of peptides and classical transmitters in peripheral autonomic and sensory neurons—functional and pharmacological implications
JM Lundberg, T Hökfelt - Progress in brain research, 1986 - Elsevier
Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on some recent advances in studies on the co-
existence of peptides with acetylcholine (Ach) and noradrenaline (NA) in certain autonomic
nerves, as well as on the occurrence of multiple peptides in sensory nerves. Noradrenaline
has for long been known to be the primary transmitter of peripheral sympathetic neurons
with minor exceptions—for example, the sympathetic innervation of sweat glands, which is
cholinergic. Immunohistochemical evidence has suggested that a member of the pancreatic …
