From: Ghrelin inhibits autonomic response to gastric distension in rats by acting on vagal pathway
Expression and phenotype of gastric Ghrelin receptor neurons in nodose ganglia. (A) Gastric neurons were identified by Fluorogold retrotracer injection and percentage on gastric neurons was assessed in left and right nodose ganglia. (B) In situ hybridization against ghsr1a mRNA was performed in nodose ganglia (left panel). Test of the antisense probe (upper right panel) and sense probe (lower right panel) in the hypothalamus. (C) Retrolabeled gastric neurons were stained for Ghrelin receptor and TRPV1 by immunofluorescence. (D) Retrolabeled gastric neurons were stained for Ghrelin receptor and ASIC3 by immunofluorescence. Scale bar = 200 µm.
