Segmental distribution of corticotropin-releasing factor-like and vasoactive intestinal peptide-like immunoreactivities in presumptive sympathetic preganglionic neurons of the cat. 1986

T L Krukoff

The distribution of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF), vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), and luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH) in cell bodies of sympathetic autonomic nuclei of the thoracolumbar spinal cord was studied immunohistochemically in cats after intrathecal administration of colchicine. Neurons containing CRF-like immunoreactivity (CRFir) and VIP-like immunoreactivity (VIPir), but not LH-RH-like immunoreactivity, were found in the intermediolateral nucleus pars principalis (IMLp) and pars funicularis (IMLf). On the basis of identification in previous studies and the size, shape, and location of the immunoreactive cells, it is suggested that the neurons are sympathetic preganglionic neurons. Most of the neurons with CRFir (85.5%) were found in the IMLp in segments T2-T7 and L2-L3 and the remaining 14.5% were found in the IMLf in segments T2-T5. The largest proportion of neurons with VIPir (93.7%) was found in the IMLp in segments T2, T4-T7, and T9-T13. Only 6.3% of the neurons containing VIPir were found in the IMLf in segments T2, T4, T5, and T10. These findings suggest that CRF and VIP may participate in peptide-specific pathways to peripheral organs.

D002415 Cats The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.

D003078 Colchicine A major alkaloid from Colchicum autumnale L. and found also in other Colchicum species. Its primary therapeutic use is in the treatment of gout, but it has been used also in the therapy of familial Mediterranean fever (PERIODIC DISEASE). Colchicine, (+-)-Isomer,Colchicine, (R)-Isomer
D003346 Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone A peptide of about 41 amino acids that stimulates the release of ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE. CRH is synthesized by neurons in the PARAVENTRICULAR NUCLEUS of the HYPOTHALAMUS. After being released into the pituitary portal circulation, CRH stimulates the release of ACTH from the PITUITARY GLAND. CRH can also be synthesized in other tissues, such as PLACENTA; ADRENAL MEDULLA; and TESTIS.
