Presence of dopaminergic neuron in the guinea-pig stomach.

Vagal inhibition in the antral region of guinea pig stomach.

The effects of vagal stimulation in the presence of a muscarinic antagonist were examined on three distinct rhythmically active cells located in guinea pig antrum. Vagal stimulation inhibited contractions of the circular muscle layer but did not change their rate of occurrence. With the use of intracellular recording techniques, these stimuli were found to initiate inhibitory junction potential...

Karyotype of Hairless Guinea pig

Chromosomal patterns of experimental animals are useful tools for cytogenetics research and animal breeding. Chromosome investigations of the hairless guinea pig are rare, therefore, karyotype of hairless guinea pigs (twelve male and female) was studied using metaphase spreads of bone marrows and G banding techniques. The chromosomes diploid number was 2n= 64 and polymorphism of three type chro...

Some observations on the feeding of the guinea pig

Neuroimmune interactions in guinea pig stomach and small intestine.

Enteric neuroimmune interactions in gastrointestinal hypersensitivity responses involve antigen detection by mast cells, mast cell degranulation, release of chemical mediators, and modulatory actions of the mediators on the enteric nervous system (ENS). Electrophysiological methods were used to investigate electrical and synaptic behavior of neurons in the stomach and small intestine during exp...
