[Raman spectra of somatic nerves under different functional conditions]

The light scattering spectra (LS) of different kind of somatic nerves during excitation and its block has been investigated. In the LS spectra of frog nerves the spectra of C40-carotenoids was dominated by the following bands at 1008 cm-1, 1160 cm-1 and 1526 cm-1. The peaks of LS were decreased during the excitation and under the action of ouabain and increased under the action of ether. The changes of LS spectra can be explained by shift of maximum of light intensity of C40-carotenoids uptake and positions of side CH3-radical in polyene chain.
