  • Title: [The effect of cervical sympathetic ganglia extirpation on the growth of rats during postnatal ontogenesis].
    Author: Lepekhina LM.
    Journal: Biull Eksp Biol Med; 1975 May; 79(5):25-7. PubMed ID: 1227586.
    Abstract:
    Bilateral extirpation of the superior cervical sympathetic ganglia carried out during the first month after the birth of ratlings caused a delay in growth by 40-60%. Section of pre-ganglionic sympathetic fibers and also sham operations failed to lead to any significant changes. Normal growth and skeletal development were disturbed in gangliectomized rats: the zone of growth of the proximal end of the tibia was much narrower in the operated animals than in the intact ones and there was a delay in the spread of secondary ossification centres.
