Distribution of succinate-, alpha-glycerophosphate-, NADH-, and NADPH dehydrogenases (tetrazolium reductases) in the hippocampal region of the rat during postnatal development.

Abstract

Succinate-, α-glycerophosphate-, NADH-, and NADPH dehydrogenases (tetrazolium reductases) were studied histochemically in brain sections. The distribution of these enzymes in the hippocampal region was mapped in different postnatal stages. In addition to the hippocampus and the dentate area which have also been dealt with by other authors, the description includes the entorhinal area, parasubiculum, presubiculum, and subiculum.
