Abstract
Enzyme histochemistry combined with horseradish peroxidase retrograde tracing demonstrated NADPH-diaphorase activity in the spinal sympathet ic preganglionic neurons in the spinal cord of the filefish, Stephanol epis cirrhifer; these neurons with NADPH-diaphorase activity were loca ted just dorsal and lateral to the central canal. The results indicate that nitric oxide is synthesized in the spinal sympathetic preganglio nic neurons of filefish.
