Neuropeptide Y (NPY)-containing nerve structures were detected in the Syrian hamster gallbladder by using peroxidase-antiperoxidase immunohistochemical staining and immunoelectron microscopic techniques. In addition, Alcian blue-P.A.S. was used to differentiate two types of surface cells in the epithelium of the gallbladder: the columnar cells and the tuft cells.
