Fig. 9. Polyamine stimulation of the olfactory epithelium resulted in a modest,
non-significant, increase in activity-dependent labeling of OSNs compared to
the level of labeling noted during control stimulation with AGB alone or the
robust stimulation elicited by glutamine. Each odorant was tested on a minimum
of two olfactory rosettes from two different fish. A minimum of six areas of
interest from three planes of section were sampled for each fish. Asterisks
designate significantly greater labeled epithelium than in the AGB control
preparations (one way ANOVA, post hoc t-test; P<0.05).
Values are means ± S.E.M. Abbreviations as in
