Abstract
Electrical stimulation of the proximal stump of the transected sciatic nerve increased glucose utilization in the ventral horn of the spinal cord, with the greater increase in Rexed's lamina IX. Antidromic stimulation of the ventral root, however, did not change glucose utilization in the ventral horn. These results suggest that the axon terminals and not the cell bodies are the sites of enhanced metabolic activity during increased electrical activity in these elements.Entities:
