Glutamate-like immunoreactivity in identified neuronal populations of insect nervous systems.
Glutamate is considered to be the most likely transmitter candidate at excitatory synapses onto skeletal muscles of insects. We investigated the distribution of glutamate-like immunoreactivity (Glu-LI) in identified motor neurons of glutaraldehyde-fixed metathoracic ganglia of the locust in paraffin serial sections. The presumably glutamatergic fast and slow extensor tibiae motor neurons show G...
متن کاملPHI-like immunoreactivity in the nervous system of the cockroach (insect) and Aplysia (mollusc) with special reference to its relationship to VIP-like immunoreactivity.
Studies in mammals have indicated that PHI (peptide histidine isoleucine) and VIP (vasoactive intestinal polypeptide) share a prepropeptide, and that both peptides are contained in the same neurons. The present study proposes that this relationship may not hold true in protostomian invertebrates. In the nervous system of the cockroach (Insecta, Arthropoda) and Aplysia (Gastropoda, Mollusca) dis...
متن کاملMapping of serotonin-like immunoreactivity in the lobster nervous system.
Serotonin exerts a wide range of physiological actions on many different lobster tissues. To begin the examination of the role of serotonin in lobsters at a cellular level, we have used immunohistochemical methods to search for presumptive serotonergic neurons, their central and peripheral projections, and their terminal fields of arborization. Whole mount preparations of the ventral nerve cord...
متن کاملGlutamate Receptor-Like Immunoreactivity in Rat Vibrissal Merkel Cells
Recent functional data has raised the possibility that an excitatory amino acid, such as glutamate, may act as neurotransmitter in vibrissal type I slowly adapting (St I) mechanoreceptors. It is supposed that Merkel cells respond to mechanical stimulation by releasing a neurotransmitter which acts on the nerve terminals in contact with the Merkel cells. Therefore, we sought to establish whether...
متن کاملPeptide GEGLSS-like immunoreactivity in the rat central nervous system.
A rabbit antiserum was raised against the N-terminal fragment peptide, GEGLSS (Gly-Glu-Gly-Leu-Ser-Ser) of bovine neuropeptide AF (NPAF, A18Famide). NPAF is an octadecapeptide isolated from the bovine brain together with neuropeptide FF (NPFF). GEGLSS-like immunoreactivity was localized with immunofluorescence technique in colchicine-treated rats in neuronal cell bodies of the supraoptic (SON) ...
