Neuropeptides modulate rat chorda tympani responses.
The neuropeptide leptin has been shown to selectively modulate rat chorda tympani (CT) responses to sweet tastants. To explore whether other neuropeptides can modulate such responses, rat whole nerve CT responses to NaCl, HCl, quinine HCl, and sucrose were measured while administering cholecystokinin-8 (CCK-8), substance P(4-11) (SP(4-11)), or calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP). To avoid po...
متن کاملRoles of lysosomal proteolytic systems in AQP5 degradation in the submandibular gland of rats following chorda tympani parasympathetic denervation.
Chorda tympani denervation (CTD) of rats was earlier shown to result in loss of submandibular gland (SMG) weight (at only 1 wk) and in continued reduction in aquaporin 5 (AQP5) protein expression (until 4 wk), without affecting its mRNA synthesis (Li X, Azlina A, Karabasil MR, Purwanti N, Hasegawa T, Yao C, Akamatsu T, Hosoi K. Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol 295: G112-G123, 2008). The ...
متن کاملChorda tympani nerve function after myringoplasty.
This is a cross-sectional study design aimed to determine the prevalence of Chorda Tympani Nerve (CTN) injury and related symptoms following myringoplasty. Thirty patients were included in this study. The methods used were measuring taste thresholds using electrogustometer to map taste threshold on the anterior two-third of the tongue on the operated side with the non operated side as the contr...
متن کاملUltrastructural changes in aging rat tracheal gland.
Ultrastructural differences in the tracheal gland between young and aged rats were studied. Marked differences were observed in the serous cells between the young (8-17 week-old) and the aged (20-30 month-old) subjects. The secretory granules of the serous cells of the young subjects were homogeneously electron dense, whilst those of the aged subjects had a bizonal appearance. These bizonal gra...
متن کاملDevelopment of chorda tympani taste responses in rat.
To learn whether neurophysiological taste responses change during structural development of the gustatory system, we recorded from the chorda tympani nerve in rats aged 7 to 92 days after birth. Chemical stimuli applied to the anterior tongue included four monochloride salts, two acids, sucrose, and urea. Responses to all chemicals were obtained as early as 7 days postnatally. Developmental cha...
