Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Immunoreactivity of galanin (GAL) was detected in the nerve fibers distributed within the intervascular stroma of the bullfrog carotid labyrinth. GAL-immunoreactive fibers are numerous, and some are close to the sinusoidal plexus. Most GAL fibers appear as thin processes with some varicosities. A combination of indirect double immunofluorescence labelling and image processing clearly demonstrated that the distribution pattern of GAL fibers is different from that of SP fibers. This indicates that GAL and SP do not coexist in the same nerve fibers. The role of GAL fibers may be different from that of previously reported neuropeptides (substance P, calcitonin gene-related peptide, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide, neuropeptide Y, and others) as a neuromodulator in controlling vascular tone of the labyrinth. |
