Abstract excerpt
Contact with sweat gland acini causes sympathetic neurons to switch from a catecholaminergic to a cholinergic phenotype during development and following experimental manipulations. Substantial reductions of cholinergic innervation have been shown in the sweat glands of ageing rats and humans. Using in oculo transplantation, we have now studied whether sweat gland target tissues retain the capacity to regulate...
