Abstract

Morphological features of the TRPV1-immunoreactive neurons were studied in thoracic spinal nerve sensory ganglion in 10-, 20-, 30-, 60- and 90-day-old rats under normal conditions and after chemical deafferentation caused by capsaicin (100 mg/kg) subcutaneous injection at postnatal day 2. TRPV1immunoreactive neurons differed in their morphometric characteristics: positive neurons had very small and small sizes, negative cells had the small, medium and large sizes. Capsaicin treatment of newborn rats was shown to change age dynamics of TRPV1-positive neurons resulting in the reduction of the average cell cross-sectional area and cell numbers during the whole period of observation.
