Expression of Subunits of Ampa-Type (Ionotropic) Glutamate Receptors in the Rat Spinal Cord
(Scientific Technical Research Council Turkey, 2002) Nazli, M; Soygüder, Z; Çarhan, A
The distribution of ionotropic glutamate receptor subunits (GluR1-4), considered alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isaxole propionic acid type (AMPA-type), was investigated in the rat spinal cord by immunocytochemistry. Different distributions of the AMPA-type glutamate receptor subunits were observed in the spinal cord. Immunolabelling with antibodies to both GluR1 and GluR2/3 revealed intensive staining in the dorsal horn, while staining for GluR2/3 and GluR4 revealed dense motor neurones in the ventral horn. These results suggest that in the rat spinal cord AMPA-type glutamate receptors vary in composition according to the region where they are expressed.
Neuronal Nitric Oxide Synthase Immunoreactivity in Ependymal Cells During Early Postnatal Development
(Elsevier, 2004) Soygüder, Z; Karadag, H; Nazli, M
Neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) immunoreactivity was observed in ependymal cell layer of the central canal of spinal cord of neonatal rats (2-20 days old). Neuronal nitric oxide synthase immunoreactivity was present in postnatal day 2 and this immunoreactivity gradually disappeared by postnatal day 16. The progressive decrease in nNOS staining with the increasing postnatal age may suggest that nNOS staining paralleled the maturation of the central canal and may also suggest that nNOS activity plays a role in the development of the ependymal cells.
