The parasympathetic innervation arises from preganglionic neurons located in the distal lumbar and proximal sacral spinal cord (segments L6 and S1 in the rat [ 6 7 ] ) and whose axons are found in the pelvic nerve and synapse on postganglionic neurons in the pelvic plexus.
Our results show a majority of labelling associated with axons, confirming the reports that δ-opioid receptors mainly have a presynaptic localization in the dorsal horn of the rat spinal cord ( 12, 21, 22, 23).
Less is known about the effects of carbenoxolone on GJs, although it has been proposed that glycyrrhetinic acid, to which carbenoxolone is related, binds directly to connexin molecules causing a conformational change leading to a closure of the junction [ 7 ] . Modeling studies indicate that neuronal synchronization can be mediated by low densities of GJs either between dendrites, as long as these dendrites are excitable [ 10 ] , or between the axons of pyramidal cells [ 11 ] . Furthermore, the electrotonic coupling could be promoted during epileptogenesis [ 12 13 ] .
Nerves estimated to contain greater than 25 dark staining axons per section but still maintaining a significant portion of live axons were rated as moderate.
