Abstract excerpt
Depolarizing stimuli are among the factors known to influence the phenotypic plasticity of nerve cells. In order to determine the prevalence of the depolarization effects in terms of cell and neuropeptide phenotypes, we have analyzed the effect of potassium (K+)-induced depolarization on the avian sympathoadrenal system. The expression of three peptidergic phenotypes, somatostatin (SS), neuropeptide Y (NPY) and...
