Cellular and ultrastructural localization of catecholamines in the dog carotid body was investigated by peroxidase-antiperoxidase method for light microscopy and by protein A-colloidal gold technique for electron microscopy, and compared with that of preproenkephalin A-related opioid peptides, i.e., Met-enkephalin-Arg6-Phe7 (Met-Enk-Arg-Phe) and Met-enkephalin-Arg6-Gly7-Leu8 (Met-Enk-Arg-Gly-Leu). Immunocytochemistry at the light microscopic level using consecutive semi-thin sections of Araldite-embedded tissue showed that some 30% of the chief cells contained immunoreactive noradrenaline together with Met-Enk-Arg-Phe and Met-Enk-Arg-Gly-Leu. A considerable number of chief cells exhibited immunoreactivities representing one or two of these three kinds of substances. A few chief cells showed none of the specific immunoreactivities. Immunoreactive adrenaline was not demonstrated in any cells of the dog carotid body. At the electron microscopic level, co-existence of noradrenaline with Met-Enk-Arg-Phe or Met-Enk-Arg-Gly-Leu in the same secretory granules was shown using the double labeling protein A-colloidal gold technique. Possible interactions of catecholamines and opioid peptides deserve consideration for the understanding of the chief cell's role in the carotid body chemoreceptor.

D009638 Norepinephrine Precursor of epinephrine that is secreted by the ADRENAL MEDULLA and is a widespread central and autonomic neurotransmitter. Norepinephrine is the principal transmitter of most postganglionic sympathetic fibers, and of the diffuse projection system in the brain that arises from the LOCUS CERULEUS. It is also found in plants and is used pharmacologically as a sympathomimetic.

D002344 Carotid Body A small cluster of chemoreceptive and supporting cells located near the bifurcation of the internal carotid artery. The carotid body, which is richly supplied with fenestrated capillaries, senses the pH, carbon dioxide, and oxygen concentrations in the blood and plays a crucial role in their homeostatic control.

D004837 Epinephrine The active sympathomimetic hormone from the ADRENAL MEDULLA. It stimulates both the alpha- and beta- adrenergic systems, causes systemic VASOCONSTRICTION and gastrointestinal relaxation, stimulates the HEART, and dilates BRONCHI and cerebral vessels. It is used in ASTHMA and CARDIAC FAILURE and to delay absorption of local ANESTHETICS.
