Immunohistochemical detection of neuromodulators in the gastrointestinal tract of turbot, Psetta maxima (L.)
Post-mortem specimens taken from the antebrachial and brachial fasciae of 20 upper limbs were studied by histological and immunohistochemical staining in order to evaluate collagen fibre bundle arrangement, the presence of elastic fibres, and the density of innervation in deep muscular fascia. The s...
