The relationship between lipofuscin and neuromelanin in some sites of the nervous system of the horse. Histochemical and cytochemical features of neuronal pigment in the spinal cord, and in the sympathetic and spinal ganglia of the adult horse have been studied. Light and electron microscopical observations revealed that lipofuscin pigment is present in the spinal ganglia and in the spinal cord, whereas in the sympathetic ganglia both lipofuscin and neuromelanin are present. The ultrastructural studies showed that lipofuscin granules exhibited a triphasic organization consisting of a matrix, a system of lamellae and one or more lipid vacuoles. Neuromelanin granules have structural features in c...
