In a previous paper we have shown that guinea pig mesentery lymph collectors possess not only autonomic nerve fibers containing classical neurotransmitters but also peptidergic ones. These nerve fibers are sensitive to the depletory action of capsaicin, and are likely to be sensory in nature.Therefore the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of capsaicin of the nerve fibers of the lymphatic wall by ultrastructural methods and to study the distribution of the “capsaicin sensitive” nerve fibers in the lymphatic vessel wall.
