Neuropeptide Y-, tyrosine hydroxylase-and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide-immunoreactive nerves in bone and surrounding tissues
A Bjurholm, A Kreicbergs, L Terenius… - Journal of the autonomic …, 1988 - Elsevier
Nerve fibres immunoreactive to neuropeptide Y (NPY), tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and
vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) were demonstrated in rat bone and adjacent tissues.
The distribution of NPY-and TH-positive fibres differed from that of VIP-positive fibres. NPY-
and TH-immunoreactive fibres were almost exclusively found close to or within the blood
vessel walls, mostly in the vicinity of the epiphyseal plate, but also in the Volkmann canals.
VIP-positive fibres were predominantly present in the epiphysis and periosteum and only …
