Abstract
Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), neuropeptide Y (NPY) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) immunoreactivities have been demonstrated in the paracervical ganglion of the rat using immunocytochemistry. Dopamine beta-hydroxylase (D beta H) and neurofilament protein triplet immunoreactivities have also been demonstrated in this region. The VIP, NPY, D beta H and neurofilament immunoreactivities were located in ganglion cells and nerve fibres, while CGRP immunoreactivity was localized only in nerve fibres. Many cells immunoreactive with D beta H antiserum were also immunoreactive with NPY antiserum. A small number of cells immunoreactive with VIP antiserum were also immunoreactive with NPY antiserum. CGRP-immunoreactive nerve fibres were distributed in certain regions of the ganglion only.Entities:
