Lectin And Peptide Expression In Nodose, Sphenopalatine And Superiorcervical Ganglia Of The Rat, Zafer Soygüder
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
The presence and distribution of Griffonia SimplicifoliaI-B4 (GSA I-B4) and Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide (CGRP) were studied in the nodose ganglion (NG) (inferior ganglion of the vagus nerve), sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) and superior cervical ganglion (SCG) of the rat. GSA I-B4 labeling was found in all ganglia tested. Neither SPG nor SCG cell bodies stained with CGRP were undetectable. The pattern of the distribution of GSA I-B4 and CGRP labeled cells were quite similar in the nodose ganglion. They were found in the poles of the ganglion with some marginal labeling. Large numbers of GSA I-B4 and CGRP labeled cells …
Lectin And Neuropeptide Labeling In Whole-Mount Preparation Ofmeninges In The Rat, Zafer Soygüder
Lectin And Neuropeptide Labeling In Whole-Mount Preparation Ofmeninges In The Rat, Zafer Soygüder
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
The distribution of both peptidergic and non-peptidergic primary afferents in meninges was investigated in whole-mount preparations from meninges. Lectin Griffonia simplicifolia I-B4 (GSA I-B4) was used as a marker for non-peptidergic fibres. Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) was used as a marker for peptidergic fibers. Lectin Griffonia simplicifolia selectively labeled thin sensory axons that were distributed throughout meninges unrelated to blood vessels. CGRP immunoreactive axons, in contrast, were found to be very close to vascular patterns. This study demonstrates that lectin-positive fibres are constituted by a fibre population separate from those containing neuropeptides.
Comparison Of The Distribution Of C-Fos With Primary Afferent Markers, Zafer Soygüder
Comparison Of The Distribution Of C-Fos With Primary Afferent Markers, Zafer Soygüder
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
The neuropeptides Substance P (SP) and Calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) were used as markers for peptidergic primary afferent fibres. A lectine, Griffonia simplicifolia (Bandeiraea simplicifolia)Isolectin-B4 (GSA I-B4), was used as a marker for non-peptidergic primary afferent fibres. C-Fos immunoreactivity was determined in the spinal cord of rats which had received 100% mustard oil application in the right hind limb. Darkly labelled c-Fos immunoreactive cells were concentrated in laminae I-IIo of the dorsal horn. SP and GSA I-B4 were distributed almost in the same regions. CGRP was more abundant in laminae I-IIo with someimmunoreactive fibres in lamina IIi. These data …
