Abstract
Immunoreactivity for calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) has been localized with indirect immunofluorescence techniques in the cholinergic sympathetic fibers that innervate eccrine sweat glands in the rat. This innervation also contains vasoactive intestinal peptide-like immunoreactivity (VIP-IR). A small proportion of principal neurons in stellate and lumbar sympathetic ganglia which provide innervation to the sweat glands contain detectable CGRP-immunoreactivity. The CGRP-IR neurons are immunoreactive for VIP; however, many VIP-IR neurons in these ganglia do not contain detectable levels of CGRP-IR.Entities:
