Abstract
The cyclic[c]GMP immunofluorescent fibers in the rat CNS were characterized as processes of fibrous astrocytes, on the basis of distribution and similarity to the localization of glial fibrillary acidic protein. The neuroglial localization of the nucleotide is discussed together with the surprising observation that these cGMP positive fibers are absent from the CNS of the adult mouse.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
