Elucidation With the Protease α-Chymotrypsin of the Inhibitory Modulating Action of Endogenous Neuropeptide Y Over Sympathetic Neurotransmission in Rat Vas Deferens
The physiological role of endogenous neuropeptide Y (NPY) in sympathetic neurotransmission was examined in rat and guinea pig vas deferens (VD), using α-chymotrypsin (α-cT). NPY-like immunoreactivity was detected in the longitudinal muscle layer of VD densely in rats but sparsely in guinea pigs, and...
