Abstract excerpt
Nerve cells are located in the rat adrenal medulla but their transmitter phenotype has not yet been determined. In-situ hybridization histochemistry was used to investigate ganglion cells with reference to their putative transmitter. High expression of dopamine beta-hydroxylase (DBH), neuropeptide tyrosine (NPY) and nerve growth factor receptor (NGF-R) mRNA was found in many of these neurons, whereas no...
