Glycogen content in the brain stem neurons during hyperthermia in cats.
Using the histochemical method of McManus the authors investigated the glycogen content in neurons in the reticular formation of brain stem in animals subjected to hyperthermia. For comparison certain nuclei outside the reticular formation were tested in the same region. A significant fall in glycogen content of reticular formation neurons was observed in hyperthermic animals. Changes in the neurons outside the reticular formation were negligible.
