Immunohistochemical Study on the Innervation of the Chicken Pancreas by Pituitary Adenylate Cyclase-Activating Polypeptides (PACAPs)-Containing Nerves

Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP), a member of secretin/glucagon/VIP family, has a potent action on the pancreatic secretion in mammals. The present study aimed to clarify the distribution of neural elements containing PACAP27 or 38 in the chicken pancreas. These two pepti...
