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