title: [The adrenergic innervation of the normal rat uterus and during pregnancy].
abstract: Histochemical analysis revealed that, normally, the main amount of adrenergic fibers in the rat uterus is connected with vascular innervation. The amount of neural elements projecting to the muscle cells in insignificant. In pregnancy, the amount of fibers with the specific fluorescence decreases and they completely disappear from the myometrium in parturient rats. Biochemical analysis corroborated the finding that the noradrenaline level is considerably decreased at the time in sympathetic neurons innervating the uterus thus leading to a physiological "desympathization" of the organ.
