摘要: Paraffin sections of feline cervicothoracic sympathetic ganglia were investigated for galanin-like immunoreactivity (galanin-LI) by means immunohistochemistry. Galanin-LI was observed in postganglionic neurones, which, as revealed investigation adjacent sections, also displayed neuropeptide Y (NPY)-LI. Additional NPY-LI ganglion cells devoid galanin-LI. did not coexist with vasoactive intestinal polypeptide-LI neurones. nerve fibres and paraganglionic few number. The findings suggest that galanin may participate control organ function.
