Immunohistochemical localisation of neuronal nitric oxide synthase in the rainbow trout kidney
摘要：
The distribution of nitrergic nervous structures in the trout kidney was studied by peroxidase-linked ABC immunostaining procedures using a polyclonal antibody raised against the neuronal isoform of nitric oxide synthase. The nitrergic plexus reaches the kidney along the vasculature, mainly running with the postcardinal vein where nitrergic fibres, microganglia like cellular clusters and isolated neurones were detected. The atubular head-kidney only showed isolated nitrergic fibres close to the larger arteries. On the other hand, the collecting tubules, collecting ducts, large arteries and glomerular arterioles of the tubular middle and posterior trunks were innervated by nitrergic fibres even though immunoreactive neurones were also observed in close apposition to some tubular elements and large arteries. These results suggest that, according to morphofunctional differences between the fish and mammalian kidneys, nitrergic neural structures may be involved in the control of particular renal functions in the rainbow trout.
