SummaryImmunohistochemical localization of substance P (SP), CGRP, VIP, neuropeptide Y (NPY), and somatostatin (SOM) in the carotid labyrinth were compared in some species of amphibians using the peroxidase-antiperoxidase method. Immunoreactivity of SP, CGRP, VIP, and NPY was found in the nerve fibers distributed in the intervascular stroma of the carotid labyrinth. SP, CGRP, and VIP immunoreactive varicose fibers were densely distributed in the peripheral portion of the carotid labyrinth. Some SP-immunoreactive fibers were distributed similarly to CGRP-immunoreactive fibers. The density of NPY and SOM immunoreactive varicose fibers was low. No immunoreactivity of enkephalins was observed in the labyrinth. The intensities of these peptides were varied from species to species. No glomus cells showed immunoreactivity for any of the 7 peptides studied. These results suggest that the vascular regulatory function, which is one of the possible functions of the carotid labyrinth, is controlled by the peptidergic mechanisms in addition to regulation through intimate apposition of glomus and smooth muscle cells (g-s connection).
