Immunolocalization of the PP family and its receptors in the gastrointestinal tract of house musk shrew, Suncus murinus.

Abstract

In this study, we investigated the distribution of the PP family and their receptor-producing cells in the gastrointestinal tract of Suncus murinus in detail for the first time. It was presumed that the wide distribution of Y4 in the gastrointestinal tract may be related to (associated with) the phenomenon of natural obesity-resistance, visceral fat accumulation-resistance in aging Suncus murinus.
