The autoradiographic localization of [3H]prazosin (alpha 1-adrenoceptor ligand) binding sites was determined in cat spinal cord sections. High levels of [3H]prazosin binding were found in the intermediolateral cell column (IML) at thoracic and lumbar levels. The iontophoresis of the alpha 1-adrenoceptor agonist methoxamine onto sympathetic preganglionic neurones (SPNs) in anaesthetized cats and rats caused excitation of 8 cat SPNs and 13 rat SPNs. These results suggest an excitatory role for some of the catecholaminergic innervation of the IML.
在猫脊髓切片中确定了[3H]哌唑嗪(α1-肾上腺素能受体配体)结合位点的放射自显影定位。在胸段和腰段的中间外侧细胞柱(IML)中发现了高水平的[3H]哌唑嗪结合。在麻醉的猫和大鼠中,将α1-肾上腺素能受体激动剂甲氧明离子导入交感神经节前神经元(SPN),导致8只猫的SPN和13只大鼠的SPN兴奋。这些结果表明IML的一些儿茶酚胺能神经支配具有兴奋作用。
