TI  - Age related increase in catecholamine-containing paraganglia in male Fischer-344 
      rats.
PG  - 563-6
AB  - For identification of paraganglia (PG), samples of para-aortic tissue, tissues 
      containing the coeliac-mesenteric ganglion complex, and the hypogastric ganglia 
      were removed from 3- and 33-month-old male Fischer-344 rats and were processed by 
      the formaldehyde-induced fluorescence method for visualization of catecholamines. 
      Small PG containing 5-30 cells per section were found consistently in young 
      animals. In each of six old rats, large PG containing 500-4000 brightly 
      fluorescent cells per section were detected. Cell counting revealed a 13.5 x 
      increase in number of PG cells between 3- and 33-month-old rats. 
      Microspectrofluorimetric quantitation in old rats showed equal amounts of 
      catecholamines in PG cells and in adrenal medullary cells. Most PG were located 
      in samples from the para-aortic area.
