Sensory peptide neurotransmitters mediating mucosal and distension evoked neural vasodilator reflexes in guinea pig ileum
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The aim was to determine the role CGRP and/or tachykinins released from sensory neural mechanisms in enteric neural vasodilator pathways. These pathways project through the myenteric plexus to submucosal vasodilator neurons. Submucosal arterioles were exposed in the distal portion of an in vitro combined submucosal-myenteric guinea pig ileal preparation, and dilation was monitored with videomicroscopy. Vasodilator neural reflexes were activated by gently stroking the mucosa with a fine brush or by distending a balloon placed beneath the flat-sheet preparation in the proximal portion. Dilations evoked by mucosal stroking were inhibited 64% by the CGRP 8-37 and 37% by NK3 (SR 142801) antagonists. When the two antagonists were combined with hexamethonium, only a small vasodilation persisted. Balloon distension-evoked vasodilations were inhibited by NK3 antagonists (66%) but were not altered by CGRP 8-37. In preparations in which myenteric descending interneurons were directly activated by electrical stimulation, combined application of CGRP 8-37 and the NK antagonists had no effect. Stimulation of capsaicin sensitive nerves in the myenteric plexus did not activate these vasodilator reflexes. These findings suggest that mucosal-activated reflexes result from the release of CGRP and tachykinins from enteric sensory neurons. Distension-evoked responses were significantly blocked by NK3 antagonists, suggesting that stretch activation of myenteric sensory neurons release tachykinins that activate NK3 receptors on myenteric vasodilator pathways.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
