High impact information on Thoracic Nerves

  • We studied 26 patients with ALS (16 with respiratory symptoms and 10 without) and measured the maximal static expiratory mouth pressure (MEP), the gastric pressure during a maximal cough (Cough Pga), and the gastric pressure after magnetic stimulation of the lower thoracic nerve roots (Tw Pga) [1].
  • Octapamine and its synthetic enzyme, tyramine beta-hydroxylase (TBH), are found in high concentrations at two points along second thoracic nerve roots in lobsters [2].
  • This study uses NADPH diaphorase histochemistry to describe the anatomy of NOS-containing neurones and the neuropilar distribution of NOS in the thoracic nerve cord of the locust [3].
  • The rat serratus anterior (SA) muscle is reinnervated by cervical roots C6 and C7 with a topographic bias following transection or freezing of the long thoracic nerve [4].
  • RESULTS: The long thoracic nerve was formed by branches arising from the C5, C6, and C7 nerve roots [5].
 

Biological context of Thoracic Nerves

 

Associations of Thoracic Nerves with chemical compounds

  • The amounts of phenylalanine, tyrosine and DOPA in a single ventral thoracic nerve cord were, respectively, 194 +/- 81, 347 +/- 88 and 11 +/- 11 ng per tissue [7].
  • The N-acetylated metabolites of p-tyramine, p-octopamine and dopamine were identified unambiguously and quantitatively determined in a single ventral thoracic nerve cord of the locust, Schistocerca gregaria, by gas chromatography-negative-ion chemical ionisation mass spectrometry (GC-NICIMS) [8].
  • Phenylalanine, tyrosine and dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) were identified unambiguously and quantitatively determined in single ventral thoracic nerve cords from the locust, Schistocerca gregaria, by gas chromatography-negative-ion chemical ionisation mass spectrometry [7].
  • Deuterium-labelled analogues of each compound were added to a single ventral thoracic nerve cord in acetonitrile: the tissue was homogenised and the suspension centrifuged [8].
  • Deuterium-labelled analogues of each compound were added to a single ventral thoracic nerve cord in hydrochloric acid; the tissue was homogenised and the suspension centrifuged [7].
