  • Title: Decreased content of met-enkephalin-like peptides in superior cervical and coeliac ganglia of aged rats.
    Author: Govoni S, Missale C, Castelletti L, Spano PF, Trabucchi M.
    Journal: Neurobiol Aging; 1983; 4(2):147-49. PubMed ID: 6633783.
    Abstract:
    Enkephalin like peptides seem to have an important regulatory role at ganglia level. The aim of the present study is to investigate whether the content of enkephalin-like peptides in sympathetic ganglia is affected by the aging process. The results show that the enkephalin like peptides content is low in superior cervical and coeliac ganglia of aged rats (25 months). The age-related decrease of enkephalin content in these structures may be of importance in determining an altered sympathetic control during aging.
