Interstitial cells of Cajal mediate enteric inhibitory neurotransmission in the lower esophageal and pyloric sphincters.

Gastroenterology - 1 Aug 1998

Ward S M, Morris G, Reese L, Wang X Y, Sanders K M

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Previous studies have suggested that a specific class of interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) act as mediators in nitrergic inhibitory neurotransmission. The aim of this investigation was to examine the role of intramuscular ICC (IC-IM) in neurotransmission in the murine lower esophageal (LES) and pyloric sphincters (PS). METHODS: Immunohistochemistry and electrophysiology were used to study the...
