In the rat experiments, the researchers injected so-called serotonergic agonists, a compound that mimics the effect of the neurotransmitter serotonin and activates receptors in the central and peripheral nervous system.
In the body, nerve cells grow in two distinct environments: In the peripheral nervous system (PNS), cells are exposed to blood and other fluids that contain high concentrations of protein, among various other constituents, depending on where the cells are located in the body.
Neuropathy is defined as disorders of the nervous system, specifically the peripheral nervous system, and it does not affect the central nervous system This disease is compared to peripheral neuropathy, which is the deranged function of and structure of peripheral motor, sensory, and autonomic neurons Neuropathy is defined as disorders of the nervous system, specifically the peripheral nervous system, and it does not affect the central nervous system.
