Abstract
In newborn and 10-day-old rats, a large portion of NPY-IR neurons was also calbindin D28K (CB)-IR in all sympathetic ganglia. The proportion of CB-IR substantially decreased during next 10Â days in the SCG, SG and CG. NPY-IR was approximately present in a half of the postganglionic neurons innervating muscle vessels of the neck and forearm, and the percentage of labeled NPY-IR profiles did not change during the development. Only single Ki67-IR neurons were also NPY-IR in the SCG, SG and CG in newborns and not in older animals. No NPY+/caspase 3Â +Â IR neurons were observed. Finally, the process of morphological changes in the size and percentages of NPY-IR profiles is complete in rats by the first month of life.
