Dysregulation of epithelial ion transport and neurochemical changes in the colon of a parkinsonian primate

Abstract The pathological changes underlying gastrointestinal (GI) dysfunction in Parkinson’s disease (PD) are poorly understood and the symptoms remain inadequately treated. In this study we compared the functional and neurochemical changes in the enteric nervous system in the colon of adult, L-DOP...

Measurement of mucosal vectorial ion transport, spontaneous longitudinal smooth muscle activity and immunohistochemical assessment of intrinsic innervation were each performed in discrete colonic regions of naïve and MPTP-treated marmosets.
