Abstract
We have followed the development of perivascular nerve fibres using antisera to substance P, calcitonin gene related peptide, neuropeptide Y and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide in the mesenteric vascular bed of developing Sprague-Dawley rats. The pattern and density of innervation appeared to be determined by one week of age. The pattern of innervation by SP- and CGRP-positive fibres was similar. The pattern of innervation by neuropeptide Y-containing fibres was distinct from that of SP and CGRP. The VIP-positive fibre plexus was sparse and irregular compared with the others examined. The density of innervation by all fibre types was highest in the jejunal arteries.Entities:
