چکیده
OBJECTIVE To investigate the retrograde changes in the dorsal motor nuclei (DMV) of the vagus nerve after vagotomy in rats. METHODS Nissl staining and immunohistochemistry were used to observe the morphological and quantitative changes of the DMV and alterations of the expression of iNOS and NADPH after severing of the vagus nerve in adult male Wistar rats. RESULTS Compared with the control group, the rats with right vagotomy showed obvious morphological changes and a significantly decreased number of neurons in the right DMV (P<0.05). Numerous iNOS- and NADPH-immunopositive cells were detected in the right DMV 5 and 10 days after right vagotomy. CONCLUSION Vagotomy causes obvious retrograde changes in rat DMV shown by a significantly decreased number and obvious morphological changes of the neurons in the DMV.

Descending pathways from hypothalamus to dorsal motor vagus and ambiguus nuclei in the rat.
The anatomical pathways between the hypothalamus and cell groups of the lower medulla that are involved in the neural control of endocrine pancreas activity were investigated. As part of this control system the descending pathways originating from lateral, dorsomedial and ventromedial hypothalamic nuclei towards the dorsal motor vagus and ambiguus nuclei, were studied by retrograde transport of...
متن کاملGlycine microinjected in the rat dorsal vagal nucleus increases arterial pressure.
Microinjections (25 nl) of glycine into the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus in 21 rats elicited dose-dependent increases of arterial pressure and heart rate that were not seen with injections adjacent to the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus. The responses to glycine were neurally mediated and could be blocked either by local pretreatment with strychnine or by combined vagotomy and ganglionic...
متن کاملEffect of esophagus distension on gastric blood flow, gastrin and somatostatin secretion in rat
Abstract Introduction: There are many studies about the inhibitory effect of the esophageal distention (ED) on gastric motility. Recently, it has been shown that ED decreases the gastric secretions. It is well established that the inhibitory effect of ED is mediated by activation of vago-vagal inhibitory reflex. However, there is not any investigation about the effect of the reflex on the gast...
متن کاملAutonomic brainstem projections to the pancreas: a retrograde transneuronal viral tracing study in the rat.
The present study describes brainstem nuclei that participate in the autonomic innervation of the pancreas, using a retrograde viral transneuronal tracing technique. It aimed at identifying the neuronal architecture of the parasympathetic, gustatory-induced insulin release by the endocrine pancreas (preabsorptive insulin response, PIR). Autonomic pathways organized for reflex adjustments of the...
متن کاملProtective effects of an interaction between vagus nerve and melatonin on gastric ischemia/reperfusion: the role of oxidative stress
Objectives:Vagal pathways in gastrointestinal tract are the most important pathways that regulate ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). Gastrointestinal tract is one of the important sources of melatonin production. The aim of this study was to investigate probable protective effect of the interaction between vagus nerve and melatonin after I/R. Materials and methods:This study was performed in male rat...
