Popis: 1. Experiments were done on isolated tissues from mice injected with 0·9% w/v NaCl solution (saline), 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA), nerve-growth-factor antiserum (NGF-As) or a combination of these agents (NGF-As+6-OHDA). 2. Fluorescence histochemistry of vasa deferentia showed clear differences between each of the treatments but no such distinction was possible in cardiac ventricle or intestine. 3. Compared with controls, the chronotropic responses of atria to field stimulation were reduced by all three treatments in the order NGF-As
