Splanchnic nerve transection abolishes the age-dependent increase of neuropeptide Y-like immunoreactivity in rat adrenal gland. 1986

H Higuchi, and H Y Yang

Using an antiserum directed against porcine neuropeptide Y (NPY), a high concentration of NPY immunoreactivity (NPY-IR) was detected in rat adrenal gland. The level of NPY-IR in the adrenal gland was found to increase considerably with age. Biochemical characterization by reverse-phase HPLC indicated that this increase was due to accumulations of NPY and another molecular form of NPY-like immunoreactive peptide. Chronic denervation of the splanchnic nerve abolished this age-dependent increase of NPY-IR rat adrenal gland.

D009478 Neuropeptide Y A 36-amino acid peptide present in many organs and in many sympathetic noradrenergic neurons. It has vasoconstrictor and natriuretic activity and regulates local blood flow, glandular secretion, and smooth muscle activity. The peptide also stimulates feeding and drinking behavior and influences secretion of pituitary hormones.

D000311 Adrenal Glands A pair of glands located at the cranial pole of each of the two KIDNEYS. Each adrenal gland is composed of two distinct endocrine tissues with separate embryonic origins, the ADRENAL CORTEX producing STEROIDS and the ADRENAL MEDULLA producing NEUROTRANSMITTERS.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013153 Splanchnic Nerves The major nerves supplying sympathetic innervation to the abdomen. The greater, lesser, and lowest (or smallest) splanchnic nerves are formed by preganglionic fibers from the spinal cord which pass through the paravertebral ganglia and then to the celiac ganglia and plexuses. The lumbar splanchnic nerves carry fibers which pass through the lumbar paravertebral ganglia to the mesenteric and hypogastric ganglia. Nerve, Splanchnic,Nerves, Splanchnic,Splanchnic Nerve
