[Experimental study of a rostro-caudal systemization in the inferior olivary complex]. 1976

M A Gerebtzoff, and F Ravet

Injection of 3-acetylpyridine at a LD50 dose to albino rats produces in a few days the destruction of olivary neurons. But the caudal part of the olivary complex, particularly accessory olives, escapes the destruction by this antimetabolite of nicotinamide. Nicotinamide protects olives agains 3-acetylpyridine. However, a preliminary histoenzymological study of dehydrogenases demanding a coenzyme derived from nicotinamide has given no significant results. The authors invoke the necessity of a rostro-caudal systematization of the olivary complex, based on fine structure, connnections and metabolism of neurons.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D009536	Niacinamide	An important compound functioning as a component of the coenzyme NAD. Its primary significance is in the prevention and/or cure of blacktongue and PELLAGRA. Most animals cannot manufacture this compound in amounts sufficient to prevent nutritional deficiency and it therefore must be supplemented through dietary intake.

D009847	Olivary Nucleus	A brainstem nuclear complex. in the hindbrain, also referred to as the olivary body. The olivary nuclear complex is a part of the MEDULLA OBLONGATA and the PONTINE TEGMENTUM. It is involved with motor control and is a major source of sensory input to the CEREBELLUM.
