Neurochemical phenotype and function of endomorphin 2-immunopositive neurons in the myenteric plexus of the rat colon
The distribution and activity of endomorphins (EMs), which are endogenous m-opioid receptor (MOR) ligands in the gastrointestinal tract (GI), have yet to be elucidated. The current study aimed to shed light on this topic. EM2 was expressed in the enteric neurons in the myenteric plexus of the mid-co...
