Fig 3. Representative images of the myenteric varicosities nerve fibers.

Fig 3

Myenteric VIP-IR and CGRP-IR varicosities of the jejunum: (a-d) VIP-IR nerve fiber and (i-l) CGRP-IR nerve fiber. Ileum: (e-h) VIP-IR nerve fiber and (m-p) CGRP-IR nerve fiber. Experimental groups: control (C); control supplemented with 2% L-glutamine (CG); Walker-256 tumor (TW); and Walker-256 tumor supplemented with 2% L-glutamine (TWG). (q-x) representative images of the submucous CGRP-IR varicosities nerve fibers of the jejunum (q-t) and ileum (u-x) from experimental groups (C, CG, TW and TWG). All enlarge images on the top right of each image with white arrows indicate examples of immunoreactive varicosity (a'-x'). Scale Bar 25 μm.
