Changes in the Neurochemical Coding of the Anterior Pelvic Ganglion Neurons Supplying the Male Pig Urinary Bladder Trigone after One-Sided Axotomy of Their Nerve Fibers.

The present study investigated the effect of unilateral axotomy of urinary bladder trigone (UBT)-projecting nerve fibers from the right anterior pelvic ganglion (APG) on changes in the chemical coding of their neuronal bodies. The study was performed using male pigs with immunohistochemistry and quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR). The animals were divided into a control (C), a morphological (MG) or a molecular biology group (MBG).

Nerve structures of the heart and their immunohistochemical characterization in 10-week-old porcine foetuses.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the distribution of neuronal perikarya and nerve fibres and their chemical coding in the heart of 10-week-old porcine foetuses. The foetuses, obtained from a local slaughterhouse, were fixed by immersion in 4% buffered (pH 7.4) paraformaldehyde.
