The galaninergic enteric nervous system of pleuronectiformes (Pisces, Osteichthyes) : an immunohistochemical and confocal laser scanning immunofluorescence study
The galaninergic enteric nervous system of three flatfishes was studied using immunohistochemical and immuno fluorescence methods. Galanin-like immunoreactivity was mainly detected within the enteric intramural neurons of the stomachs and the proximal intestines. The sole, Solea solea L. and the flo...
