Muscular hypertrophy in the ileum of two pigs aged 6 weeks was induced using two different
surgical techniques, narrowing of the gut circumference (mechanical stenosis) and …

Myenteric neurons were investigated morphometrically to answer the question if type-
specific somal hypertrophy of type VI neurons in mechanically stressed ileum of pigs, which …

Background Data on structural variations in the neuronal composition of myenteric ganglia
along the small intestine of various species are scarcely available. The aim of this study was …

In six healthy mongrel dogs, hypertrophy of the ileum was induced by experimental stenosis.
The number, size and morphological appearance of myenteric ganglion cells in the …

Originally, intestinal motility was thought to be exclusively regulated by myenteric neurons.
Some years ago, however, it was demonstrated in large mammals that submucous neurons …

The projections of myenteric neurons within the myenteric plexus of the guinea-pig small
intestine were established using retrograde tracing in organotypic culture. Three days after …

Background Subsets of myenteric neurons have been identified. To determine the
proportional representation of neurons in each, it is necessary to relate the number of …

The neurons of the myenteric plexus of the entire small intestine were stained in young adult
(3–4 mo old) and aging guinea pigs (26–30 mo old). Total length and circumference of the …

In guinea‐pig ileum, ageing has been associated with a decrease in enteric neurons. This
study examined guinea‐pig colon and measured changes in gut dimensions, neuron size …

The study was aimed at the immunohistochemical characterization of myenteric Stach type V
neurons of the pig ileum that were not included in the widely used Dogiel classification. So …
