Distribution of acetylcholinesterase and cholineacetyl‐transferase activities in coronary vessels of younger and older adults

Background:  The cholinergic nerve fibers of coronary arteries, capillaries and veins were studied in younger and older humans by staining of acetylcholinesterase and cholineacetyltransferase activities on autopsy samples of coronary vessels with the aim of investigating age‐related changes.
