Table 2.

The length of small intestine, the area of small intestine, the density of myenteric neurons in small intestine and the density of myenteric ganglia in small intestine in neonatal and adult guinea pigs. Each value is the mean ± se of 5 to 9 experiments.

	Length (mm)	Area (mm²)	Ganglia/mm²	Neurons/mm²
Adult tissues	1554.0 ± 49.1^*	27450.7 ± 1081.5^*	2.1 ± 0.4	171.7 ± 8.6
Neonatal tissues	811.3 ± 25.8	8701.7 ± 611.3	5.3 ± 0.4^*	396.5 ± 12.0^*

Asterisks indicate significant increase (P < 0.05, unpaired t-test; n = 5 to 6).
