NADPH-diaphorase activity in the sympathetic preganglionic neurons of the filefish, Stephanolepis cirrhifer.
Enzyme histochemistry combined with horseradish peroxidase retrograde tracing demonstrated NADPH-diaphorase activity in the spinal sympathetic preganglionic neurons in the spinal cord of the filefish, Stephanolepis cirrhifer, these neurons with NADPH-diaphorase activity were located just dorsal and lateral to the central canal. The results indicate that nitric oxide is synthesized in the spinal sympathetic preganglionic neurons of filefish.
