Rat dorsal root ganglion neurons in culture express vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) independently of nerve growth factor.

abstract：:After injecting Diamidino yellow (DY) and Fast blue (FB), respectively, into the trigeminal sensory complex and lumbar cord segments, neurons were doubly labeled retrogradely with both DY and FB in the periaqueductal gray (PAG) and dorsal raphe nucleus (DR). The fluorescent retrograde double-labeling method combined w...

abstract：:The effects of the serotonin agonist MK-212, on rat plasma ACTH were examined. MK-212 significantly increased plasma ACTH levels, and this effect was blocked by the 5-HT1C antagonists mesulergine and metergoline but not by spiperone, ketanserin, or (-)-pindolol. The results suggest that MK-212 activates the 5-HT1C rec...
