Epididymal (E) and prostatic (P) segments of the rat vas deferens were incubated with tritium-labeled noradrenaline (NA); upon transmural electrical stimulation for 20 or 60 s (70 V, 1 ms, 3-35 Hz), the outflow of immunoreactive neuropeptide Y (ir-NPY) and NA was detected in the superfusion media. Ir-NPY was detected only following trains of 35 Hz for 60 s in both E and P. In contrast, tritium was released in a graded fashion following trains of 3, 15 or 35 Hz stimulation for 60 s in E, whereas in P it reached a plateau at frequencies larger than 15 Hz. The outflow of tritium, under present conditions, was dependent on the duration of the stimuli, while the release of ir-NPY was only evoked with stimuli of 60 s duration. In the absence of external Ca2+, neurotransmission was blocked and co-release of ir-NPY and NA was prevented.
