Adrenergic innervation of uterine vasculature in human term pregnancy.
The adrenergic innervation to the vasculature of the pregnant human uterus was studied by means of glyoxylic acid histofluorescence staining. Catecholamine fluorescent nerves are observed in the myometrium and walls of the vasculature in deep biopsies taken from the uterine isthmus and placental bed.
