The distribution of substance P (SP) immunoreactivity and the colocalization of SP with other bioactive substances in chromaffin cells and nerve fibers were investigated in the rat adrenal gland at the light microscopic level. In the capsule and cortex, SP immunoreactivity was seen in some nerve fib...
