摘要: Background—Cardiac ganglia were originally thought to contain only cholinergic neurons relaying parasympathetic information from preganglionic brain stem the heart. Accumulating evidence, however, suggests that cardiac a heterogeneous population of synthesize or respond several different neurotransmitters and neuropeptides. Reports regarding monoamine histamine synthesis neurotransmission within ganglia, present conflicting are limited in number. Furthermore, very few studies have examined neurochemistry adult human ganglia. The purpose this study was, therefore, determine whether monoamine- histamine-synthesizing enzymes exist Methods Results—Human heart tissue containing was obtained during autopsies patients without cardiovascular pathology. Avidin-biotin complex immunohistochemistry used demonstrat...
