Anatomy of the Myenteric Plexus of the Opossum Esophagus

open access: yesGastroenterology, 1982
Silver-impregnated stretch preparations of the opossum esophageal body and lower esophageal sphincter were compared as to the general aspect of the plexus, density of perikarya and ganglia, type and size of ganglia, nerve bundle diameter, density of nerve bundle intersections, and relations between ganglia and nerve bundle intersections.

Sirtuin-3 Is Expressed by Enteric Neurons but It Does not Play a Major Role in Their Regulation of Oxidative Stress [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Gut inflammation contributes to the development of gut motility disorders in part by disrupting the function and survival of enteric neurons through mechanisms that involve oxidative stress.

Ileocecal Intussusception with Histomorphological Features of Inflammatory Neuropathy in Adenovirus Infection

open access: yesGastroenterology Research and Practice, 2009
The pathophysiological mechanisms for ileocecal intussusception in children with adenovirus infection are not well characterized. Here we demonstrate coincidence of adenovirus infection and inflammatory neuropathy of myenteric plexus in two children with

Neurochemical phenotype and function of endomorphin 2-immunopositive neurons in the myenteric plexus of the rat colon

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2014
The distribution and activity of endomorphins (EMs), which are endogenous m-opioid receptor (MOR) ligands in the gastrointestinal tract (GI), have yet to be elucidated. The current study aimed to shed light on this topic. EM2 was expressed in the enteric

Differences in enteric neuronal density in the NSE-Noggin mouse model across institutes

open access: yesScientific Reports
The enteric nervous system (ENS) is a large and complex part of the peripheral nervous system, and it is vital for gut homeostasis. To study the ENS, different hyper- and hypo-innervated model systems have been developed.

Achalasia in the elderly patient: a comparative study

open access: yesArquivos de Gastroenterologia, 2011
CONTEXT: Achalasia is a primary esophageal motor disorder secondary to the degeneration of ganglion cells of the inhibitory intramural myenteric plexus. It affects both sexes similarly and has two peaks of incidence, one in the 3rd to 4th decades of life

Hypertrophy of NADH-diaphorase positive myenteric neurons in rat jejunum after acute infection caused by Toxoplasma gondii

open access: yesJournal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2010
Toxoplasmosis, a globally distributed feline-associated zoonosis caused by the protozoan Toxoplasma gondii, affects birds and mammals, including humans. This study assesses the consequences of acute T.
