Development of the rat superior cervical ganglion: ganglion cell maturation.
The development of superior cervical ganglion cells has been studied in the fetal rat. Sympathetic cells appear first in thoracic sites and, one day later, in cervical sites; localized proliferation among these cells gives rise to the superior cervical and stellate ganglia. The maturation of superior cervical ganglion cells was examined by staining these neurons with horseradish peroxidase in f...
متن کاملNeurotransmitters and Their Receptors in the Rat Superior Cervical Ganglion
The superior cervical ganglion (SCG), the sympathetic organ innervating the carotid body (CB), lies at the bifurcation of the common carotid artery, near the CB. The ganglion is composed of functional subsets of neurons showing different sympathetic phenotypes. The expression of putative neurotransmitters and their receptors in the rat SCG was investigated at light microscopical level using imm...
متن کاملStereological Study on the Neurons of Superior Cervical Sympathetic Ganglion in Diabetic Rats
Background: Most research on autonomic dysfunction of diabetes mellitus is conducted on ganglions innervating gastrointestinal (GI) tract and there are limited works focusing on cervical sympathetic ganglia. The effects of diabetes mellitus (DM) on the neurons of superior cervical sympathetic ganglion (SCSG) are investigated by stereological methods. Material and Methods: Female rats (n=72) ran...
متن کاملTissue distribution and renal developmental changes in rat organic cation transporter mRNA levels.
Organic cation transporters (OCTs) are responsible for excretion of cationic substances into urine. Tissue OCT expression may be important for the disposition and excretion of xenobiotics. Therefore, OCT1, OCT2, OCT3, OCTN1, and OCTN2 mRNA levels were measured in adult rat tissues and rat kidney tissue at various stages of development from day 0 to 45. OCT1 mRNA expression was highest in kidney...
متن کاملKISS1 and KISS1R expression in the human and rat carotid body and superior cervical ganglion
KISS1 and its receptor, KISS1R, have both been found to be expressed in central nervous system, but few data are present in the literature about their distribution in peripheral nervous structures. Thus, the aim of the present study was to investigate, through immunohistochemistry, the expression and distribution of KISS1 and KISS1R in the rat and human carotid bodies and superior cervical gang...
