Abstract

AbstractThe degeneration of the terminal network of sympathetic nerve fibres in the rabbit uterus and oviduct were studied after treatment with 6‐OH‐Dopamine. The majority of the fluorescent fibres of the myometrial smooth muscle disappeared 24 h after the treatment. The recovery of the fluorescence required 4–7 weeks. At the finestructural level, no adrenergic axon terminals could be identified while the nonadrenergic axons and axon terminals seemed intact. Complete adrenergic denervation caln be achieved by the use of 6‐OH‐dopamine also in those regions, which are innervated through the “short adrtnergic neurones”.
