Peripheral sympathectomy resulted in 2- to 5-fold increases in NGF protein levels in heart atrium and ventricle

Peripheral sympathectomy carried out in the adult rat resulted in 2- to 5-fold increases in NGF protein levels in heart atrium and ventricle, as well as submandibular gland, with no concomitant increase in NGF mRNA.
