Organelle changes in cat thoracic alpha- and gamma-motoneurons following axotomy

Abstract:
Horseradish peroxidase was used as a retrograde marker to identify the cell bodies of cat thoracic alpha- and gamma-motoneurons 8 days following axotomy. A quantitative ultrastructural comparison revealed changes in Nissl bodies, the Golgi apparatus, mitochondria and lysosomes for axotomised alpha-motoneurons, while axotomised gamma-motoneurons only showed changes in Nissl bodies and nuclear pores.
