[H2S-positive neurons in some nuclei of cardiovascular center of rat brain].
The aims of this study were to investigate the presence of H2S-positive (H2S+) neurons and to study their distribution of in the nuclei of the medulla oblongata and the pons which are included in the cardiovascular center. Using immunocytochemical method to detect cystathionine beta-synthase, the presence of H2S+ neurons was demonstrated in the nuclei studied of Wistar rats (n = 16). More intense the reaction was detected in the large cells of motor nuclei, whereas the small cells of sensory nuclei usually had low-to-moderate enzyme activity. The data obtained provide a considerable amount of new information regarding the organization of brain nerve centers, including those controlling the cardiovascular system.
