During a four hour observation period vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) is released in increasing amounts from the feline small intestine exposed to cholera toxin. As VIP is known to be located almost exclusively in the intestinal nerves, the present findings strongly suggest that cholera toxin activates the enteric nervous system. The findings of this and other studies performed in this laboratory lead to the proposal that the choleraic secretion is, at least in part, secondary to the activation of intramural nervous reflexes in the gut.
在四小时的观察期内,血管活性肠肽(VIP)从暴露于霍乱毒素的猫小肠中释放量不断增加。由于已知VIP几乎仅存在于肠神经中,目前的研究结果强烈表明霍乱毒素激活了肠神经系统。本实验室进行的这项研究及其他研究结果提示,霍乱性分泌至少部分是肠道壁内神经反射激活的继发结果。
