3H-Noradrenaline-accumulating ability of cholinergic nerve terminals in cat sympathetic ganglia

Abstract
1 After incubation of pieces of cat posterior mesenteric ganglion in [3H]-noradrenaline solution, the localization of the isotope was assessed by electronautoradiography. 2 Significantly higher concentrations of [3H]-noradrenaline were found over acetylcholinesterase-positive axons terminal on ganglion cells than in adjacent background areas. 3 [3H]-Noradrenaline was not accumulated by ganglion cells under these circumstances. 4 The significance of these findings in relation to previous physiological and pharmacological investigation is discussed.
