Spinal ganglia

In rat spinal ganglia both neuronal and endothehal (the latter predominantly in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum associated with the mitochondria) nitric oxide synthases were localised by their immunoreactivities (Henrich et al. 2001). In vi-bratome slices of rat spinal gangha hypoxia (1 % Oj) stimulated nitric oxide formation while the production of reactive oxygen species was not increased.

There is an increase in vasodilation and peripheral blood flow, along with stimulation of the spinal ganglia which control erectile tissue, followed by slight "hallucinogenic effects, that last for about two hours. Users may then go off to sleep quite erasily. 

Actually, unipolar neurons have two axons rather than an axon and dendrite (Figure 14.3). Mostintemeurons, which form all the neural wiring within the CNS, are of this type. Examples include spinal ganglia, most cranial nerve sensory ganglia, and the trigeminal mesencephalic nucleus. Dorsal root ganglia cells extend one axon centrally toward the spinal cord, and the other axon toward the skin or muscle. 

To assess the contribution of zidovudine to the mitochondrial damage, the effects of zidovudine on non-infected co-cultures of spinal ganglia, spinal cord, and skeletal muscle in fetal rats have been studied (32). 

Sublimaze fentanyl. substance K neurokinin A neuropeptide K. substance P (SP) is a naturally occurring 11 amino acid residue C-terminally amidated peptide, and is a tachykinin present in the brain of vertebrate species, in spinal ganglia and in the intestines. It is formed from the precursor preprotachykinin A (PPT-A). It acts as a tachykinin RECEPTOR AGONIST and Stimulates extravascular smooth muscle, is a powerful VASODILATOR and transient HYPOTENSIVE, and causes salivation and increased capillary permeability. Notably, Af-terminally deleted fragments (e.g. SP(4-11)) are as active as substance P itself on many systems. It is used as a pharmacological tool. 

FGF-2, the most promising candidate of the FGF family, occurs in different isoforms. However, all of the effects of FGF-2 reported so far have been achieved by application of the 18-kDa isoform. It is therefore not clear whether all isoforms display similar activities or whether they differentially regulate cell metabolism. A correlation between expression of a certain isoform and cell morphology has been demonstrated, for example, in cardiac myocytes.69 In the peripheral nervous system, FGF-2 isoforms were found to be differentially regulated in spinal ganglia and at the lesion site after sciatic nerve injury.167 This differential regulation might be evidence for an isoform-specific function. Analysis of the FGF-2 isoform effects may therefore lead to therapeutic tools with increased efficiency and specificity and, possibly, less side effects. The same is true for the recently identified FHFs, which are also present in the nervous system.

The rat dorsal root ganglion (Minchin and Iversen, 1974), spinal ganglia (Roberts, 1974), and superior cervical ganglion (Bowery and Brown, 1972) represent in situ systems with certain advantages.
