Measurement of dopa and immunolocalization of L-dopa-positive nerve fibers in rat dental pulp.
dopa, norepinephrine, and traces of dopamine, epinephrine were present in in rat dental pulp. L-dopa was localized in nerve fibers in dental pulp. The results suggest that L-dopa-positive nerve fibers are present in dental pulp as well as classical adrenergic fibers.
