Abstract
The intrinsic innervation of rat sciatic nerve sheaths was studied by means of immunohistochemical labeling for calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and peripherin. CGRP immunoreactivity (CGRP-IR) and peripherin immunoreactivity (peripherin-IR) were found in fine nerve fibers independent of nerve sheath vasculature. These findings suggest that a subset of the nervi nervorum may have nociceptive functions, and that this subset is distinct from nerve fibers that innervate the blood vessels of the nerve sheaths.Entities:
