R‐type Ca2+ Channels Contribute to Neural Control of Murine Colonic Motility

Abstract: BackgroundThe enteric nervous system controls gastrointestinal motility. Multiple subtypes of voltage‐gated Ca2+channels contribute to neurotransmitter release from enteric neurons.ObjectiveWe tested the hypothesis that R‐type Ca2+channels contribute to enteric neurotransmitter release in the mouse colon.MethodsStudies were done in vivo and in vitro using wild type (WT) and a1E Ca2+ channel (R‐type) knockout (KO) mice. Fecal output was measured in vivo. The colonic migrating motor complex (CMMC) was measured i… Show more
