Uterus-innervating neurones of paracervical ganglion in the pig: immunohistochemical characteristics.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Immunohistochemical characteristics of neurones innervating the porcine uterus located in paracervical ganglia were studied with a combination of retrograde fluorescent tracing and immunofluorescence. Retrograde fluorescent tracer Fast Blue (FB) was injected into the uterine horn and uterine cervix. The presence of biologically active substances, tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), neuropeptide Y (NPY), vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), galanin (GAL), Met-enkephalin-Arg-Gly-Leu (MEAGL) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) was studied in FB-positive neurones localised in paracervical ganglia. FB-positive neurones containing TH, NPY, VIP and MEAGL were numerous, while those containing CGRP were scarce. The results pointed to some species-related differences in immunohistochemical coding of neurones of paracervical ganglion responsible for uterus innervation.

Distribution of efferent neurones innervating the oviduct in the pig.
This study was aimed, by means of the retrograde tracing technique, at disclosing the distribution of efferent neurones innervating the porcine oviduct. The fluorescent retrograde tracer Fast Blue was injected into the wall of the right oviduct in six juvenile pigs during laparotomy performed under anaesthesia. After a recovery period of 3 weeks the animals were reanaesthetised, perfused with 4...

متن کاملTHE ANATOMICAL RECORD 240:377-386 (1994) Ontogeny of Neurotransmitter Systems in the Paracervical Ganglion and Uterine Cervix of the Rat
Background: The paracervical ganglia (PG) are components of the pelvic plexus that provides sensory and motor innervation to the reproductive system of the female rat. Several neurotransmitters including norepinephrine (NE), acetylcholine (ACh), neuropeptide Y (NPY), and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) are present in neurons of the adult PG and in axons innervating the adult uterus and ...
متن کاملReproductive behaviour in the male cricket Gryllus bimaculatus DeGeer. II. Neural control of the genitalia.
To understand the neural mechanisms of reproductive behaviour in the male cricket, we identified motor neurones innervating the muscles in each genital organ by backfilling with cobalt/nickel and recording their extracellular spike activity from nerve bundles of the terminal abdominal ganglion during tethered copulation and spermatophore formation. During tethered copulation, at least two motor...

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...
