AbstractThe average ATPase activity in homogenates of the cat carotid body is found to be 20 nmol Pi liberated per minute per mg fresh tissue weight at 25 °C. ATPase activity in the nodose ganglion and the superior cervical ganglion is found in the same range. Most of the activity remains in the supernatant after removal of the mitochondria by centrifugation. The activity is inhibited by ouabain only marginally (ganglia) or not at all (carotid body). In all these organs up to 80% of the activity is seen in the absence of Mg2+ and the presence of increasing concentrations of Ca2+.

And Control

The majority of blood vessels in the superior cervical ganglion possess a continuous endothelium with tight junctions. These same features have been associated with the blood brain barrier of the central nervous system and peripheral nerves. These vessels may perform a barrier function between the capillary circulation and the superior cervical ganglion. The permeability of the blood vessels in the superior cervical ganglion of the rat was tested by intravenous injection of horseradish peroxidase (HRP). Three experimental groups of four animals each were given intravenous HRP (Sigma Type II) in a dosage of.08 to.15 mg/gm body weight in.5 ml of.85% saline. The animals were sacrificed at five, ten or 15 minutes following administration of the tracer. Superior cervical ganglia were quickly removed and fixed by immersion in 2.5% glutaraldehyde in Sorenson's.1M phosphate buffer, pH 7.4. Three control animals received,5ml of saline without HRP. These were sacrificed on the same time schedule. Tissues from experimental and control animals were reacted for peroxidase activity and then processed for routine transmission electron microscopy.
