We investigated the histological effects of ciliary neurotrophic factor on degenerating motor neurons, their axons, and skeletal muscles in 68 wobbler mice with motor neuron disease. Treatment consisted of recombinant rat or human ciliary neurotrophic factor (or a vehicle solution), 1-mg/kg subcutan
Choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) is a functional and specific marker gene for neurons such as primary motor neurons that synthesize and release acetylcholine as a neurotransmitter. In adult mammals, transection of the peripheral nerve results in a loss of immunoreactivity for ChAT in the injured mot
## Abstract Brainโderived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) belongs to the neurotrophin family and regulates the survival, differentiation, and maintenance of function in different neuronal populations. BDNF is strongly expressed in hypothalamic neurons, where it exerts longโ or shortโlasting actions. Bec
