Background: An increased prevalence of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and disturbances in cardiac and blood pressure reflexes have been described in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). These features could be due to abnormalities in the gastrointestinal neurotransmission.

Peristalsis is a propulsive motor pattern orchestrated by neuronal excitation and inhibition in cooperation with intrinsic muscular control mechanisms, including those residing in interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC). Interstitial cells of Cajal form a network of cells in which electrical slow waves or
Somatostatin exerts multiple effects by activating distinct G protein-coupled receptors. Here we report the cellular sites of expression of the somatostatin subtype 2A (sst 2A ) receptor in the rat enteric nervous system by using a C-terminus-specific, affinity-purified antiserum and immunohistoche
