Electrical stimulation of the proximal stump of the transected sciatic nerve increased glucose utilization in the ventral horn of the spinal cord, with the greater increase in Rexed's lamina IX. Antidromic stimulation of the ventral root, however, did not change glucose utilization in the ventral horn. These results suggest that the axon terminals and not the cell bodies are the sites of enhanced metabolic activity during increased electrical activity in these elements.
对横断坐骨神经近端残端进行电刺激，可增加脊髓腹角的葡萄糖利用，其中Rexed IX层的增加更为明显。然而，对腹根进行逆向刺激，并未改变腹角的葡萄糖利用。这些结果表明，在这些神经元件电活动增加期间，增强代谢活动的部位是轴突终末而非细胞体。
