Accumulation of 3H-glycine in interneurons of the cat spinal cord

Summary After in vivo njections of ³H-glycine into the cat spinal cord autoradiography at the light and electron microscopic level revealed high concentrations of radioactivity over certain nerve endings, often containing flat vesicles, over glial cells and over neuronal cell bodies probably representing spinal interneurons. Motoneurons, on the other hand, showed only a low activity.
