Cryostat sections from rat: control (A,C) and hypertrophic (B,D) ileum autoradiographically labelled for VIP mRNA (A,B) and galanin mRNA (C,D). VIP mRNA containing nerve cell bodies are larger, more numerous, and more intensely labelled in hypertrophic ileum. The number of galanin mRNA containing nerve cell bodies is particularly increased in the myenteric ganglia where they are larger and more intensely labelled. Original magnification ×130.
