TL;DR
Problems associated with the low intensity and fast fading of the formaldehydeinduced fluorescence of adrenergic nerves in young foetal human and rat gut have been overcome by loading the nerves with a primary catecholamine by incubating the tissue in Krebs solution containing added noradrenaline or α-methyl-noradrenalin.
Abstract
Problems associated with the low intensity and fast fading of the formaldehydeinduced fluorescence of adrenergic nerves in young foetal human and rat gut have been overcome by loading the nerves with a primary catecholamine. This has been achieved by incubating the tissue, before freeze-drying, in Krebs solution containing added noradrenaline or α-methyl-noradrenaline. With this method fluorescent nerves have been revealed at a stage before any were demonstrable by normal procedures.

The appearance of norepinephrine in developing autonomic structures of the chick embryo has been investigated and a highly sensitive and specific method for the cellular localization of certain catecholamines and tryptamines was used in combination with chemical determination of catechlamines.

It is suggested that the cardiac branch of the vagus nerve contains both inhibitory cholinergic and excitatory adrenergic nerves.
The Journal of PhysiologyEffect of denervation and of reserpine treatment on transmission at sympathetic nerve endings

Questions remain concerning the relationship between the junction potentials and the spontaneous discharge of small potentials, and is noradrenaline the final transmitter released at the sympathetic nerve endings, both spontaneously and as a result of nerve stimulation.

It was concluded that the presence of noradrenergic terminals about ganglion cells in the enteric plexuses of mammals is a relatively recent evolutionary development.

The significance of the presence and localization of catecholamines in the toad bladder is discussed in relation to the pharmacology of the organ and to histochemical investigations of the innervation in other vertebrate bladders.

This work has investigated the distribution of adrenergic and acetylcholinesterase-positive nerves in relation to the cat nictitating muscle by both light and electron microscopy, with a view to testing further the important hypothesis of Burn & Rand (1959) that adrenergic nerves contain a cholinergic mechanism which is functionally related to the release of noradrenaline.

It is concluded that the catecholamines taken up in the rat heart during perfusion with high concentrations are located partly in the adrenenic nerves but also to a great extent extraneuronally.

It has been shown that the time of decay of the EJP is not determined by inactivation of transmitter by uptake into peripheral nerve fibers, and was consistent from 30 days, which corresponds with the onset of puberty in mice.

The data are interpreted to indicate the existence of an active component for the uptake of norepinephrine by the sympathetically innervated embryonic heart which is not present in the noninnervated organ.
