Gastrointestinal vascular perfusates in bullfrogs before and after splanchnic nerve stimulation were collected and analyzed for epinephrine and norepinephrine. Catecholamine in the perfusate before stimulation was predominantly epinephrine. Upon stimulation a marked increase in epinephrine release without any significant change in norepinephrine release was observed in experiments at 8-10 degrees C as well as 16-21 degrees C, showing that in frogs epinephrine is the sympathetic neurotransmitter and that the release of epinephrine is not affected by low temperatures.
收集牛蛙在刺激内脏神经前后的胃肠血管灌注液,分析其中的肾上腺素和去甲肾上腺素。刺激前灌注液中的儿茶酚胺主要是肾上腺素。在8 - 10摄氏度以及16 - 21摄氏度的实验中,刺激后观察到肾上腺素释放显著增加,而去甲肾上腺素释放无显著变化,这表明在青蛙中肾上腺素是交感神经递质,且肾上腺素的释放不受低温影响。
