The effects of neuronotrophic factors (NFs) on adult adrenal medulla grafts transplanted into the rat caudate nucleus after the destruction of the nigrostriatal dopaminergic pathways were investigated. Two months after implantation, all of the adrenal medulla grafts treated with NFs, but only 45% of the untreated grafts, had survived. The levels of tyrosine hydroxylase activity in the caudate nucleus however, were not significantly different between the sham-operated control and either NF-treated or untreated grafted groups. These results indicate that treatment with NFs significantly enhances the survival rate of the grafts.

D003342 Corpus Striatum Striped GRAY MATTER and WHITE MATTER consisting of the NEOSTRIATUM and paleostriatum (GLOBUS PALLIDUS). It is located in front of and lateral to the THALAMUS in each cerebral hemisphere. The gray substance is made up of the CAUDATE NUCLEUS and the lentiform nucleus (the latter consisting of the GLOBUS PALLIDUS and PUTAMEN). The WHITE MATTER is the INTERNAL CAPSULE.

D000313 Adrenal Medulla The inner portion of the adrenal gland. Derived from ECTODERM, adrenal medulla consists mainly of CHROMAFFIN CELLS that produces and stores a number of NEUROTRANSMITTERS, mainly adrenaline (EPINEPHRINE) and NOREPINEPHRINE. The activity of the adrenal medulla is regulated by the SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM. Adrenal Medullas,Medulla, Adrenal,Medullas, Adrenal
