Human omental arteries and veins are supplied with nerve fibers containing noradrenaline (NA) and neuropeptide Y (NPY); these two agents probably co-exist in perivascular sympathetic nerve fibers. Substance P (SP)- or vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)-containing fibers could not be detected. In studies on isolated omental vessels NA produced constriction. The results of blockade experiments suggest that human omental arteries are equipped predominantly with alpha 1-adrenoceptors and omental veins with a mixture of alpha 1- and alpha 2-adrenoceptors. NPY at a concentration of 10(-7) M or higher had a weak contractile effect on veins and virtually no effect on arteries. NPY at a concentration of 3 X 10(-8) M shifted the NA concentration response curve to the left in arteries (pD2 = 5.8 for NA versus 6.6. for NA in the presence of NPY; P less than 0.001) but not in veins. Both SP and VIP relaxed arteries precontracted with NA or prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha). The potency of SP as a relaxant agent was similar in arteries and veins; the effect of VIP was elicited at lower concentrations in veins than in arteries.
