Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

Neurological signs were observed in rats after acute cobaltous acetate intoxication under mild ischemic conditions. Histofluorescence studies showed a decrease in catecholamine fluorescence (which signifies a decrease in the amine content) in the hypothalamus and mesencephalic reticular formation, but not in the substantia nigra or basal ganglia. Serotonin fluorescence was increased in nerve cell bodies of the dorsal and median raphe nuclei and in nerve terminals in some thalamic and preoptic regions. Histological staining of sections adjacent to the fluorescent ones showed no neuronal loss and some pathology of myelin.
