Abstract
Noradrenergic, serotoninergic and peptidergic nerves have been demonstrated in perivascular plexuses of vasa nervorum of sympathetic, parasympathetic and somatic nerve trunks. 5-Hydroxytryptamine-, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide- and substance P-containing fibers were found by immunohistochemistry to variable extents in whole mounts of the epineurium of sciatic, vagus and paravertebral sympathetic chains of rabbits. Innervation increased with age. This suggests an hitherto unsuspected role for these vasoactive substances in normal blood flow to nerves and in the genesis of experimental and human neuropathies.Entities:
