TI  - Localization of enkephalin- and neurotensin-like immunoreactivities in cat 
      adrenal medulla.
PG  - 31-6
AB  - Enkephalin (ENK)- and neurotensin (NT)-immunoreactivities (IR) were localized in 
      cat adrenal medulla using immunocytochemistry. ENK was localized mainly in 
      adrenaline cells, 70%-80% of which were heavily labelled. About 5%-10% of the 
      noradrenaline cells were ENK-immunoreactive (IR). A dense network of ENK-IR 
      nerves was localized among adrenaline cells. NT was localized only in the 
      noradrenaline cells, 60%-70% of which were immunoreactive. NT- and ENK-IR were 
      localized in separate noradrenaline cells. A dense network of NT-IR nerves was 
      restricted among noradrenaline cells. The present findings confirm that ENK- and 
      NT-like peptides are localized in separate adrenal medullary cells and 
      demonstrate that also the preganglionic nerves are divided in subpopulations 
      according to their neuropeptide content. These nerves have a selective 
      localization among adrenaline and noradrenaline cells and may have physiological 
      significance in the control of secretion of catecholamines and neuropeptides from 
      adrenal medulla.
