Nitric oxide synthase is increased following small intestinal transplantation in the rat

Transplantation of the small intestine is a neural model that could include extrinsic denervation, loss of intrinsic enteric neurons, or loss of intrinsic neural pathways. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) diaphorase activity was measured in normal rat ileum, ileum 3 months after r...

Zusammenfassung:Transplantation of the small intestine is a neural model that could include extrinsic denervation, loss of intrinsic enteric neurons, or loss of intrinsic neural pathways. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) diaphorase activity was measured in normal rat ileum, ileum 3 months after resection of the jejunum, and ileum 3 months after isotransplantation of the ileum. The distribution of NADPH diaphorase activity and immunoreactive neuronal nitric oxide synthase were examined. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate diaphorase activity was increased in transplanted ileum (16.5±3.5 mU/mg protein) compared to normal controls (6.6±0.7) and resection controls (6.8±0.6) ( P
