ABSTRACT
In Koo Hwang, Heungshik S Lee, Young Sam Nam, Choong
Hyun Lee, Yeo Sung Yoon, Tae-Cheon
Kang, Moo Ho Won, In Se Lee., Immunohistochemical
localization of substance P, calcitonin gene-related
peptide, galanin and calcium binding proteins in myenteric and submucosal plexuses
of goat small intestine. Online J Vet Res 1: 7-28,
2002. Immunohistochemical
and double immunofluorescent was used to identify the
localization of calbindin D-28k (CB), calretinin (CR), parvalbumin
(PA), substance P (SP), calcitonin gene-related
peptide (CGRP) and galanin (GAL) in the goat small
intestine. Localization of CB with SP, CGRP or GAL in the myenteric
and submucosal plexuses suggests that CB may serve a neuromodulatory role for SP-, CGRP-, and GAL-immunoreactive neurons in intestinal wall motility.
Distributions of CB, CR and SP of the goat small intestine differ from
guinea-pig and the pig. This difference may be relevant to morphological
characteristics.
