Figure 6. Immunohistochemical demonstration of double labeling for c-Fos and choline acetyltransferase (ChAT), neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS), or VIP in intragastric myenteric ganglionic neurons in flat sections of gastric wall of rats.

Figure 6

Stimulation of DMV neurons in the rostral part of the nucleus (panel A) induced Fos immunoreactivity (Cy3, red) in intragastric myenteric neurons that mainly contain ChAT but not nNOS or VIP. In contrast, stimulation of DMV neurons in the caudal part of the nucleus (panel B) induced FOS immunoreactivity in intragastric myenteric neurons that mainly contain nNOS and VIP but not ChAT. Arrows indicate c-Fos–positive ChAT-, nNOS-, or VIP-containing neurons. Calibration bar: 50 µm.
