Abstract excerpt
The effect of immunosympathectomy on the pattern of distribution of catecholamine- and peptide-containing nerve fibres and neurones in the myenteric and submucous plexuses of rat ileum was investigated. There was an increase in vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP)-, galanin (GAL)- and substance P-like immunoreactivity in the myenteric plexus of ileum from rats treated with nerve growth factor (NGF) antiserum...
