Abstract:Aims: To explore the expression changes of P2Y1 in the distal colonic submucosa of opioid induced constipation (OIC) rats and its correlation with the occurrence of OIC. Methods: OIC model was generated by intraperitoneal injection of loperamide hydrochloride, a selective agonist of the μ-opioid receptor (MOR). Seven days later, the model was assessing by detecting the fecal traits and calculating the fecal water cotent. The distribution of MOR-containing neurons and P2Y1-containing neurons in colonic submucos… Show more
