✦ Synopsis

Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) increases in astrocytes following axotomy of facial motoneurons. In the present study we quantified GFAP synthesis both in regenerating facial nuclei after nerve crush and in nonregenerating facial nuclei after nerve resection. An increase in GFAP synthesis during regeneration occurs as early as 24 h after the axotomy. Thus, the increase in the astrocytic GFAP synthesis seems to be the earliest glial response to retrograde changes in facial motoneurons.

## Abstract It is known that expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) as an astrocyte‐specific marker can be regulated by levels of circulating gonadal steroids during postnatal development. In addition, astrocytes play an important role in the physiology of the hippocampus, a brain reg

## Abstract Age‐related increases in the expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in many brain regions are observed in short‐ and long‐lived mammals. Possible genomic mechanisms for the increase of GFAP mRNA and protein were studied in the hippocampus and cortex of male F344 rats and a
