The abdominal paraganglia in man represent a major source of catecholamines, and perhaps peptide hormones, during the fetal period. The nature of the innervation of the abdominal paraganglia was studied immunohistochemically by utilising antibodies to vasoactive intestinal polypeptide, enkephalin, substance-P and somatostatin. The paraganglia showed an abundant network of VIP-immunoreactive fibres, and similar nerve fibres were found within nerve bundles of the preaortic sympathetic plexus. Occasionally, VIP-immunoreactive fibres were seen within the prevertebral ganglia, but stained cell bodies were never observed. It may be suggested that VIP-containing nerves could regulate a secretory response from fetal human abdominal paraganglia.
在人类胎儿期，腹部副神经节是儿茶酚胺以及可能的肽类激素的主要来源。利用抗血管活性肠肽、脑啡肽、P物质和生长抑素的抗体，通过免疫组织化学方法研究了腹部副神经节的神经支配性质。副神经节显示出丰富的血管活性肠肽免疫反应性纤维网络，并且在主动脉前交感神经丛的神经束内也发现了类似的神经纤维。偶尔，在椎前神经节内可见血管活性肠肽免疫反应性纤维，但从未观察到染色的细胞体。可以推测，含血管活性肠肽的神经可能调节人类胎儿腹部副神经节的分泌反应。
