5-Hydroxytryptamine-immunoreactive nerve fibers in the rat and porcine prevertebral sympathetic ganglia: effect of precursor loading and relation to catecholaminergic neurons.

abstract：:Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) is a potent and broadly acting neurotrophic factor that protects various cultured neurons against apoptotic stimuli. To investigate whether PEDF acts not only on neurons, but also glial cells, we analyzed the effects of recombinant human PEDF (rhPEDF) on cytokine mRNA levels, t...
