Frequency dependence of dual negative feedback control of secretion of sympathetic neurotransmitter in guinea-pig vas deferens

L Stjarne
PMCID: PMC1776380  PMID: 4366974

Abstract

The secretion of sympathetic neurotransmitter in guinea-pig vas deferens appears to be normally controlled by two different mechanisms, one dependent and one independent of prostaglandin E. The efficiency of both control systems, as well as of exogenous prostaglandin E2, is inversely related to nerve stimulation frequency.
