Effects of different corticosteroids on the brain weight and hippocampal neuronal loss in rats.

abstract：:Extracellular ATP can influence cells via activation of P2X purinoceptors, the distribution of which can be altered in the central and peripheral nervous systems following injury or tissue damage. Here we have investigated the effect of a unilateral section of the cervical vagus nerve on the distribution of P2X(1), P2...
