Anatomical evidence of non-parasympathetic cardiac nitrergic nerve fibres in rat.

In conclusion, an abundant population of nitrergic NS in the nodose ganglion implies that neuronal NO is involved in afferent cardiac innervation. Nevertheless, nNOS-IR neurons identified within vagal nuclei may play a role in the transmission of preganglionic parasympathetic nerve impulses. PMID: 32790077 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
