“…This control is maintained, besides known local mechanisms, for the most part by the autonomic nervous system (McDougal and Gamlin, 2015;Neuhuber and Schrodl, 2011). While autonomic control utilizes well investigated classical transmitters for signal transduction, such as acetylcholine or norepinephrine, a plethora of neuropeptides is additionally involved in these mechanisms, mainly for signal-modulation (Troger et al, 2007). In many instances, however, the exact mechanisms of signal transduction/-modulation are not understood yet.…”
