Distribution and function of the cannabinoid-1 receptor in the modulation of ion transport in the guinea pig ileum: relationship to capsaicin-sensitive nerves
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We investigated the distribution and function of cannabinoid (CB)(1) receptors in the submucosal plexus of the guinea pig ileum. CB(1) receptors were found on both types of submucosal secretomotor neurons, colocalizing with VIP and neuropeptide Y (NPY), the noncholinergic and cholinergic secretomotor neurons, respectively. CB(1) receptors colocalized with transient receptor potential vanilloid-1 receptors on paravascular nerves and fibers in the submucosal plexus. In the submucosal ganglia, these nerves were preferentially localized at the periphery of the ganglia. In denervated ileal segments, CB(1) receptor immunoreactivity in submucosal neurons was not modified, but paravascular and intraganglionic fiber staining was absent. Short-circuit current (I(sc)) was measured as an indicator of net electrogenic ion transport in Ussing chambers. In the ion-transport studies, I(sc) responses to capsaicin, which activates extrinsic primary afferents, and to electrical field stimulation (EFS) were reduced by pretreatment with the muscarinic antagonist atropine, abolished by tetrodotoxin, but were unaffected by VIP receptor desensitization, hexamethonium, alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methlisoxazole-4-proprionic acid, or N-methyl-d-aspartate glutamate receptor antagonists. The responses to capsaicin and EFS were reduced by 47 +/- 12 and 30 +/- 14%, respectively, by the CB(1) receptor agonist WIN 55,212-2. This inhibitory effect was blocked by the CB(1) receptor antagonist, SR 141716A. I(sc) responses to forskolin or carbachol, which act directly on the epithelium, were not affected by WIN 55,212-2. The inhibitory effect of WIN 55,212-2 on EFS-evoked secretion was not observed in extrinsically denervated segments of ileum. Taken together, these data show cannabinoids act at CB(1) receptors on extrinsic primary afferent nerves, inhibiting the release of transmitters that act on cholinergic secretomotor pathways.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
