Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide-like immunoreactivity in nerves of the pancreatic islet of the teleost fish, Gillichthys mirabilis

S Van Noorden et al. Cell Tissue Res. 1980.

Abstract

In the teleost fish, Gillichthys mirabilis, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP)-like immunoreactivity is present in some nerve fibres of the principal pancreatic islet and surrounding tissues, the vagus and splanchnic nerves, the coeliac ganglion and the wall of the intestine. The nerves of the pancreatic islet that contain VIP-like immunoreactivity probably correspond to one of the two types of non-cholinergic, non-adrenergic (peptidergic) nerve previously described in this fish. Similarities in the localisation of hormonal peptides in fish and mammals suggest that the regulation of gastroenteropancreatic physiology in fish may resemble that of mammals.
