Effects of combined pre- and post-natal protein deprivation on the myenteric plexus of the esophagus of weanling rats: A histochemical, quantitative and ultrastructural study

Figure 1 Myenteric neurons stained for NADH diaphorase in esophagi taken from N (A, C, E, G) and D (B, D, F, H) rats. In both groups small (arrowheads) and large (arrows) neurons are evident (A, B). Sometimes large neurons were only weakly stained, such as in C and D (arrows) and G and H (*). the weakness of staining in large neurons; E, F: On the other hand, in N animals (E) large and intensely reactive neurons predominated (arrowheads), but their number was largely reduced inside D ganglia (F, arrowhead) (A-F: x 340; G and H: x 715).
