چکیده

The sequential application of the peroxidase-antiperoxidase (PAP) technique with nickel-intensified DAB and with DAB alone was used to visualize black peptide-immunoreactive endings on amber serotonin-immunoreactive cells in 1-2-micron paraffin sections of the hamster medulla. Met-enkephalin- and substance P-positive terminals were present on serotonin cells in the raphe nuclei, the ventral reticular formation, and in the nucleus interfascicularis hypoglossi. The presence of enkephalin-immunoreactive endings on medullary serotonin-immunoreactive cells correlates with the analgesia and autonomic changes that result from the application of morphine or met-enkephalin to the medulla.

The distribution of serotonin-immunoreactive cells in larynx, trachea and bronchi of goat (Capra aegagrus) and bovine (Bos taurus)

The respiratory tract contains numerous peptides secreted from special pulmonary epithelial cells whichare called endocrine cells. The function of neuroendocrine cells is modulated by amines. Serotonin has strong vasomotor and bronchomotor effects in the airway mucosa. The objective of this study was to determine presence and distribution of serotonin-positive endocrine cells in respiratory tra...

Regional and mucosal distributions of some intestinal immunoreactive endocrine cells in New Zealand white rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus L.)

The aim of this study was to detect the regional and mucosal distribution of endocrine cells that secrete gulcagon, somatostatin, Chyholecystokinin-8 (CCK-8), serotonin, secretin, substance P (SP) and histamine in the small and large intestine of New Zealand white rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus L.) using immunohistochemical peroxidase-antiperoxidase (PAP) method. It was found that most of the im...

Argentaffin and argyrophil reactions and serotonin content of endocrine tumours.

Sixty carcinoid tumours were tested in a retrospective study with an immunoperoxidase technique using a monoclonal antibody against serotonin immunoreactive sites, with argyrophil staining using the Grimelius technique, and with argentaffin staining using the Masson-Fontana technique. A good correlation between all three techniques in the diagnosis of ileal carcinoid tumour was found, but the i...

Nonadrenergic noncholinergic innervation. Anatomic distribution of calcitonin gene-related peptide-immunoreactive tissue in the dog heart.

Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) has inotropic and chronotropic effects in rat and guinea pig hearts. It also may mediate nonadrenergic noncholinergic regulation of canine cardiac electrophysiology. In this study, immunohistochemistry was used to determine the anatomic distribution of CGRP in mature dog heart and autonomic ganglia controlling cardiac function. The stellate ganglia had sca...

Comparison of immunoreactivity to serotonin, FMRFamide and SCPb in the gut and visceral nervous system of larvae, pupae and adults of the yellow fever mosquito Aedes aegypti

In all life stages, the gut of the mosquito is innervated by a small number (typically 4) of central neurons immunoreactive to serotonin (SI). The serotonergic system appears to pass through metamorphosis largely intact, despite extensive remodeling of the gut. Axons immunoreactive to antibodies raised against molluscan FMRFamide (RF-I) constitute peptidergic innervation that anatomically paral...
