Description Neurotransmission from peripheral sympathetic nerves to smooth muscle is involved in the regulation of several important physiological processes, It has conventionally been held that noradrenaline (NA) is the only sympathetic neurotransmitter, Much recent evidence indicates, however, that not all sympathetic end effects may be mediated by NA alone. Instead, significant components may be mediated by adenosine 5'-triphoshate (ATP). In view of the far-reaching implications of this hypothesis, an examination is made in this paper of the pertinent evidence and avenues for future work are identified.
