“…The absence of this osmiophilic substance in the synaptic vesicles of other varicosities clearly shows that renal arteries of dogs have nonadrenergic nerves as well. These nerve varicosities have the fine structure of cholinergic varicosities, but cannot be positively identified as such [2], Exogenous acetylcholine acts on specific cholinoceptive receptors to produce in creased renal blood flow and sodium excre tion, but it has not been possible to ascertain whether there are intrarenal cholinergic nerves regulating these or other parameters of renal function [13].…”

In this study, 5-hydroxydopamine was used to help differentiate adrenergic and nonadrenergic nerve terminals in canine renal arteries. There were both adrenergic and non-adrenergic varicosities in the adventitia near the outer surface of the media. The adrenergic varicosities had accumulated 5-hydroxydopamine, were more numerous than the nonadrenergic varicosities, and were found in the media in close relation to smooth muscle cells.
