The enteric nervous system.
T HE enteric nervous system is a collection of neu-rons in the gastrointestinal tract 1 that constitutes the " brain of the gut " and can function independently of the central nervous system. 2 This system controls the motility, 3,4 exocrine and endocrine secretions, 5 and microcirculation 6 of the gastrointestinal tract; it is also involved in regulating immune and inflammatory processes. 7 In...
متن کاملPlatinum-based chemotherapy: gastrointestinal immunomodulation and enteric nervous system toxicity.
The efficacy of chemotherapeutic treatment of colorectal cancer is challenged by severe gastrointestinal side effects, which include nausea, vomiting, constipation, and diarrhea. These symptoms can persist long after the treatment has been ceased. An emerging concept is the ability of platinum-based drugs to stimulate immunity, which is in contrast to conventional chemotherapeutic agents that a...
متن کاملLewy bodies in the enteric nervous system in Parkinson's disease.
We systematically studied the intramural nervous system of the alimentary tract in patients with Parkinson's disease and found that Lewy bodies were distributed widely in the Auerbach's and Meissner's plexuses. In the central nervous system, we recognized a striking similarity between the distribution of Lewy bodies and that of monoaminergic neurons. More recently, we have demonstrated that neu...
متن کاملThe human enteric nervous system.
Decades of work in animal models have demonstrated that the enteric nervous system (ENS) plays a key role in controlling gut functions. Recent advances made it possible to extend such studies to the ENS of man in health and even in disease. Such studies have already provided new insights into the pathophysiology of inflammatory and possibly functional bowel diseases. Studies on human ENS reveal...
متن کاملGaseous Mediators in the Enteric Nervous System
The enteric nervous system is an independent nervous system that controls vital gut functions including motility and secretion. Enteric neurons use a variety of neurotransmitters to modulate neural as well as muscle and epithelial activity. Among them are three gaseous mediators which are nitric oxide (NO), carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen sulphide (H2S). All three have potent inhibitory effec...
