Mapping the distribution of thiamine monophosphatase, fluoride-resistant acid phosphatase, and substance P in the spinal cord with a personal computer compatible program.
Distribution of the marker enzymes fluoride-resistant acid phosphatase (FRAP) and thiamine monophosphatase (TMPase) as well as that of the marker neuropeptide substance P (SP) has been mapped by means of the semi-automatic computer program MUDH, in various experimental conditions, including degeneration, regeneration, and anti-Nerve Growth Hormone treatment of the sciatic nerve. The program is written in standard Pascal language; it is applicable to Commodore 64 and IBM compatible personal computers. Graphical illustration of values obtained in serial sections is a powerful and highly valuable contribution in the analysis of various biodynamic reactions related to transganglionic regulation of primary sensory neurons.
