Sympathetic trunk ganglia (STG) neurons projecting to the boar urinary bladder trigone were studied by coupling retrograde tracing (Fast Blue, FB) and double-labelling immunofluorescence methods. FB-positive neurons were localised in L1-S3 STG. Immunohistochemical staining revealed the catecholaminergic (tyrosine hydroxylase-/dopamine betahydroxylase- immunoreactivity) phenotype of the majority of FB-positive neurons which preferentially expressed also neuropeptide Y. In addition, some of the FB-positive dopaminergic perikarya were immunoreactive for calcitonin gene-related peptide, substance P, vasoactive intestinal peptide, vesicular acetylcholine-transporter, neuronal nitric oxide synthase, somatostatin, and leu-enkephalin. Functional hypothesis have been formulated.

Abstract
Sympathetic trunk ganglia (STG) neurons projecting to the boar urinary bladder trigone were studied by coupling retrograde tracing (Fast Blue, FB) and double-labelling immunofluorescence methods. FB-positive neurons were localised in L1-S3 STG. Immunohistochemical staining revealed the catecholaminergic (tyrosine hydroxylase-/dopamine betahydroxylase- immunoreactivity) phenotype of the majority of FB-positive neurons which preferentially expressed also neuropeptide Y. In addition, some of the FB-positive dopaminergic perikarya were immunoreactive for calcitonin gene-related peptide, substance P, vasoactive intestinal peptide, vesicular acetylcholine-transporter, neuronal nitric oxide synthase, somatostatin, and leu-enkephalin. Functional hypothesis have been formulated.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
