Immunohistochemical Evidence for the Presence of a Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide, Neuropeptide Y, and Substance P, in Rat Adrenal Cortex after Acute Heat Stress
نویسندگان
چکیده
Immunohistochemistry revealed the presence of Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide (VIP), Neuropeptide Y (NPY), and the absence of Substance P (SP) immunoreactivity in the rat adrenal cortex. VIPand NPY-immunoreactivity were detected in nerve fibers around the small blood vessels projecting into the capsule and cortical zones surrounding blood vessels and cortical cells. After acute heat stress, VIPand NPY-immunoreactivities in the nerve fibers were reduced, probably as a result of the release of these peptides.

Immunohistochemistry revealed the presence of VIP-, NPYand SP-immunoreactivity in the rat adrenal medulla. VIPand NPY-immunoreactivity was detected in chromaffin and ganglion cells and in nerve fibers, but SP-immunoreactivity was found only in chromaffin cells. After acute heat stress, VIPand NPYimmunoreactivities in cells and nerve fibers were reduced, probably as a result of the release of th...

Methods. Serial tangential sections and whole-mount preparations of the scleral spur region of 18 human eyes of different ages were investigated with electronmicroscopic and immunohistochemical methods. For immunohistochemistry antibodies against neurofilament-proteins, synaptophysin, substance P (SP), calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), neuropeptide...

Immunohistochemical studies were performed to determine the distribution of neuropeptides and tyrosine hydroxylase in rat and human pterygopalatine ganglia. In the rat pterygopalatine ganglion, the most commonly found peptide in ganglion cells was vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) (99%) followed by neuropeptide Y (NPY) (54%) and enkephalin (ENK) (11%). Substance P (SP)-, calcitonin gene-r...
متن کاملImmunohistochemical features of substance P-immunoreactive chromaffin cells and nerve fibers in the rat adrenal gland.
The distribution of substance P (SP) immunoreactivity and the colocalization of SP with other bioactive substances in chromaffin cells and nerve fibers were investigated in the rat adrenal gland at the light microscopic level. In the capsule and cortex, SP immunoreactivity was seen in some nerve fibers around blood vessels and in thick nerve bundles passing through the cortex directly into the ...

The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), substance P (SP), neuropeptide Y (NPY), vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and serotonin immunoreactivity in the intestinal plexus of mole-rats (Spalax leucodon). Immunohistochemical methods were conducted on the ileum and colon of the small and large intestine. CGRP immunoreactive neuronal structu...
