NGF‐dependent and NGF‐independent recovery of sympathetic function after chemical sympathectomy with 6‐hydroxydopamine
Abstract
To help clarify the distinction between the nerve growth factor (NGF)-dependent collateral sprouting of sympathetic nerves and their NGF-independent regeneration after crush, we used 6-hydroxydopamine (OHDA) to destroy the sympathetic terminals in adult rats; this leaves the axons damage-free. Would recovery occur by regeneration and/or collateral sprouting? A single 6-OHDA injection abolished the sympathetic pilomotor field revealed by …
