[Glycogen metabolism in the cranial cervical ganglion of the cat sympathetic trunk during decentralization and reparative regeneration].
The character of glycogen metabolism disorders has been studied in the cranial cervical ganglion of the cat sympathetic trunk after the latter has been cut 1.5 cm caudally the ganglion. As the innervational connections are establishing, the glycogen metabolism is normalizing, but even after 2 months the initial level is not restored. Glycogen is proved to be one of the most sensitive tests to the lesion. In various time after cutting, the glycogen metabolism has certain specific peculiarities both in the neural cell bodies, and in the synapses. The wavy character of the glycogen-synthesizing process in the neural elements is demonstrated, with anaerobic glycolysis taking a large part in it. Certain connections with the higher centers are necessary not only for glycogen metabolism as energy resources, but to ensure a regular synthesis, particularly that of enzymes, in the neurons and synapses. The peculiarities of glycogen-synthesizing properties in the synaptic formations, after the connection with the center is broken, are closely connected with the notion on autonomity in the synaptic structures activity.
