Stainability and Fine Structure of Intracytoplasmic Inclusion Bodies in the Locus Ceruleus of Mouse
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present study compared intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies in the locus ceruleus (LC) of mouse with protein bodies in the LC of human. Phosphotungstic acid-hematoxylin (PTAH) and the Mallory method were used as the anionic stains. The inclusion bodies and protein bodies, which stained with PTAH and the Mallory method in the brain, contain proteins that appear to belong to the same family. Although both inclusion and protein bodies were formed with the same arginine composition, their distribution in the brain was similar and similar physiological changes by morbidity were observed, and the fine structure of the inclusion bodies and protein bodies appeared to be different. The present findings suggest that mouse inclusion bodies and human protein bodies are different.

متن کاملEtiology and Pathogenesis of Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is an age-related neurodegenerative disorder that affects approximately 1 million persons in the United States. It is characterized by resting tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia or slowness, gait disturbance, and postural instability. Pathological features include degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta coupled with intracytoplasmic inclus...

In this study, the effect of reversible inactivation of locus ceruleus (LC) on naloxone- induced withdrawal syndrome in paragigantocellular (PGi) neurons in morphine- dependent rats was investigated. For inactivation of LC, 1 µl of lidocaine (2%) was used and for induction of withdrawal syndrome, naloxone hydrochloride (2 mg/kg) was injected systemically. The results showed that in dependent gr...
متن کاملTHE EFFECT OF LOCUS CERULEUS LESIONING ON TONIC AND PHASIC PAIN
Bulbospinal noradrenergic pathways are shown to have an important role in descending inhibition of pain sensation. Locus ceruleus (LC), as a rich noradrenergic nucleus in the brain stem which has projections into the dorsal horn of the spinal cord, was evaluated for antinociceptive activity by using tonic and phasic pain models in the rat. LC-lesioned rats demonstrated moderate increase in ...

Parkinson disease (PD) is a progressive degenerative neurological disorder characterized by resting tremor, bradykinesia, cogwheel rigidity, and postural instability.1 In the later stages, approximately 25% or more of patients develop cognitive compromise. The cardinal pathological features of PD are degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta and their axons, whi...
