Sympathetic nerve cell destruction in newborn mammals by 6-hydroxydopamine

P U Angeletti et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1970 Jan.

Abstract

A selective and permanent destruction of sympathetic ganglia was achieved by injecting 6-hydroxydopamine in newborn animals. A lifelong chemical sympathectomy may thus be obtained. The process of cell damage and destruction is substantially different from that produced with an antiserum to a specific nerve growth factor.
