Effect of NSAIDs Supplementation on the PACAP-, SP- and GAL-Immunoreactive Neurons in the Porcine Jejunum

Side effects associated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) treatment are a serious limitation of their use in anti-inflammatory therapy. The negative effects of taking NSAIDs include abdominal pain, indigestion nausea as well as serious complications such as bleeding and perforation....

description Side effects associated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) treatment are a serious limitation of their use in anti-inflammatory therapy. The negative effects of taking NSAIDs include abdominal pain, indigestion nausea as well as serious complications such as bleeding and perforation. The enteric nervous system is involved in regulation of gastrointestinal functions through the release of neurotransmitters.

NSAIDs supplementation caused a significant increase in the population of PACAP-, SP- and GAL-containing enteric neurons in the porcine jejunum. Our results suggest the participation of the selected neurotransmitters in regulatory processes of the gastrointestinal function and may indicate the direct toxic effect of NSAIDs on the ENS neurons.
