Background, Aims: Previous literature data showed that there are primary sensory neurons in different organs (e.g. gastrointestinal tract, urinary bladder). In our previous studies we also demonstrated some substance P (SP) immunoreactive (IR) nerve cell bodies in the root of the rat tongue. Therefore, our aim was to investigate the effect of the transection of the lingual nerve on the distribution and density of the different IR nerve fibers in the root of the tongue from rats. Methods: Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), neuropeptide Y (NPY), substance P (SP), galanin and calcitonin gene-related peptide (…
