Title: Effect of Denervation on Diameter and Reactivity of Arteries in the Bat Wing
Abstract: Responsiveness of the arterial vessels to intravenous and topically applied epinephrine was determined before and after denervation. Responsiveness to injected epinephrine increased 14 days after denervation; responsiveness to topically applied epinephrine was unaffected by denervation; arterial vessels remained dilated in excess of three weeks following denervation.
