The present article reviews the literature relative to VIP-and PHI-containing nerve fibers in the pineal gland of mammals. The article summarizes data on the presence and distribution of the two peptides in the brain of mammals, their role in neuronal metabolism, and the significance and origin of V
There is evidence that the trigeminal (Gasserian) ganglia innervate the mammalian pineal gland and serve in its regulation in addition to the sympathetic and cholinergic as well as further influences. By means of immunohistochemical methods, previous studies demonstrated fibers containing calcitonin
An immunohistochemical study in which antisera against several neuropeptides were used demonstrated the presence of neuropeptide Y(NPY) and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) immunoreactivity in nerve fibers in the human prostate gland and seminal vesicle, whereas no immunostaining for substanc
