Abstract: 【Objective】 The present study was carried out to examine the existence of LCGR (luteinizing hormone/ choriogonadotropin receptor, LCGR) in the stellate ganglion (SG) of goat. 【Method】 Five pairs of stellate ganglions (SG) were taken from mature female and male goats. The distribution characteristics of LCGR were studied after immunohistochemical SP staining. Image-Pro Plus 6.0 (IPP 6.0) was used as the method of semi-quantitative image analysis to evaluate the expression difference of LCGR between neurons and non-neuron cells. 【Result】Neurons and non-neuron cells in SG were immunolabelled in different degrees. In the neurons, uniformly strong immunostaining was found in the whole cytoplasm and neurites, whereas no receptors were detected in the nucleus. In the non-neuron cells including satellite cells and vascular endothelial cells, the cytoplasm was weakly immunolabelled. A significant difference in the intensity of immunolabelling could be found between neurons and non-neuron cells. 【Conclusion】 LCGR was widely distributed in SG of goat and mainly in the cytoplasm and on the membrane of neurons, suggesting that LH and CG may exert potential effects on SG.
