Abstract
Cyclic AMP accumulation in rat superior cervical ganglia during synaptic activity occurs by a noncholinergic, nonadrenergic process. Both preganglionic nerve stimulation and 4-aminopyridine increase ganglion cyclic AMP levels in the presence of atropine or phentolamine. Of the polypeptides tested as putative transmitters, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (10(-6) M) causes ganglion cyclic AMP accumulation comparable to that produced by preganglionic nerve stimulation.Entities:
