title: Club endings containing substance P-like immunoreactivity in human retinal vessels: Whole mount preparation.
abstract: Substance P-like immunoreactivity was studied by fluorescence immunohistochemistry in human retinal vessels of the whole mount preparation. Substance P immunoreactive nerve fibers were seen to run along the arteries and some veins. Club terminals are in contact with the vessel wall. Substance P may act as a vasoregulator in the human retina.
