In this study, we investigated the immunocytochemical distribution of NK-1 and NK-3 tachykinin receptors in guinea pig and rat isolated pancreatic acini. In dispersed acinar cells from guinea pig, immunofluorescence staining detected similar densities of NK-1 and NK-3 receptors; conversely, rat acinar cells expressed NK-1 receptors more strongly than NK-3 receptors. In line with previous functional studies, these immumocytochemical findings suggest that guinea pig NK-1 and NK-3 receptors and rat NK-1 receptors alone play a direct stimulatory role in the basal pancreatic acinar amylase release.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated the immunocytochemical distribution of NK-1 and NK-3 tachykinin receptors in guinea pig and rat isolated pancreatic acini. In dispersed acinar cells from guinea pig, immunofluorescence staining detected similar densities of NK-1 and NK-3 receptors; conversely, rat acinar cells expressed NK-1 receptors more strongly than NK-3 receptors. In line with previous functional studies, these immumocytochemical findings suggest that guinea pig NK-1 and NK-3 receptors and rat NK-1 receptors alone play a direct stimulatory role in the basal pancreatic acinar amylase release.
