Enteroendocrine cells and 5-HT availability are altered in mucosa of guinea pigs with TNBS ileitis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Enteroendocrine cells act as sensory transducers, releasing 5-HT and numerous peptides that are involved in regulating motility, secretion, and gut sensation. The action of mucosal 5-HT is terminated by a 5-HT reuptake transporter (SERT). In this study, we examined the hypothesis that ileitis leads to changes in enteroendocrine cell populations and mucosal 5-HT availability. Ileitis was induced in guinea pigs by intraluminal injection of 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid and experiments were conducted 3, 7, and 14 days after treatment. The number of somatostatin, neurotensin, and 5-HT-immunoreactive cells increased at 3 and 7 days of ileitis, respectively, whereas no significant changes in the numbers of cholecystokinin, glucagon-like peptide-2, glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide, and peptide YY-immunoreactive cells were observed. Chemical stimulation of the inflamed mucosa with sodium deoxycholic acid significantly increased 5-HT release compared with basal release. Mechanical stimulation of the mucosa potentiated the effect of the chemical stimuli at day 7. Epithelial SERT immunoreactivity was significantly reduced during the time course of inflammation. Thus changes in enteroendocrine cell populations and 5-HT availability could contribute to the altered motility and secretion associated with intestinal inflammation by disrupting mucosal signaling to enteric nerves involved in peristaltic and secretory reflexes.

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.
