Human recombinant interleukin 1β suppresses acetylcholine release from rat myenteric plexus
Abstract
BACKGROUND: A marked suppression of acetylcholine (ACh) release from myenteric nerves in the inflamed intestine of rats infected by Trichinella spiralis has been shown. In this model, there is increased expression of interleukin 1 beta (IL-1 beta) in the myenteric plexus. Therefore, the ability of IL-1 beta to alter ACh release in longitudinal muscle-myenteric plexus (LMMP) preparations from noninfected rats was examined.
METHODS: LMMP …
