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...

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-DOPA-responsive, 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-treated common marmoset, with naïve controls.

The basal short circuit current (I sc) was lower in MPTP-treated colonic mucosa while mucosal resistance was unchanged. There was no difference in basal cholinergic tone, however, there was an increased excitatory cholinergic response in MPTP-treated tissues when NOS was blocked with L-Nω-nitroarginine. The amplitude and frequency of spontaneous contractions in longitudinal smooth muscle as well as carbachol-evoked post-junctional contractile responses were unaltered, despite a decrease in choline acetyltransferase and an increase in the vasoactive intestinal polypeptide neuron numbers per ganglion in the proximal colon.
