Raised tone reveals ATP as a sympathetic neurotransmitter in the porcine mesenteric arterial bed [PDF]
The relative importance of ATP as a functional sympathetic neurotransmitter in blood vessels has been shown to be increased when the level of preexisting vascular tone or pressure is increased, in studies carried out in rat mesenteric arteries.

cAMP catalyzing phosphodiesterases control cholinergic muscular activity but their inhibition does not enhance 5-HT4 receptor-mediated facilitation of cholinergic contractions in the murine gastrointestinal tract [PDF]
Background: As the signal transduction of 5-HT4 receptors on cholinergic neurons innervating smooth muscle is controlled by phosphodiesterase (PDE) 4 in porcine stomach and colon, and human large intestine, the in vivo gastroprokinetic effects of a 5-HT4
