| pubmed-article:7523222 | pubmed:abstractText | Nitric oxide and neuropeptide Y (NPY) exert similar biological actions in the mammalian intestine including modulation of food intake, blood flow, motility, and secretion. In addition, these substances coexist in submucosal secretomotor neurons of the rodent intestine. The aim of this study was to determine the relative disposition of elements displaying NPY immunoreactivity and NO synthase-related nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) diaphorase activity in the nerve networks of the human infant colon. | lld:pubmed |
