- Abstract:
- The role of enteric glia in gastrointestinal physiology remains largely unexplored. We examined the actions of the gliotoxin fluorocitrate (FC) on intestinal motility, secretion, and inflammation after assessing its efficacy and specificity in vitro. FC (100 microM) caused a significant decrease in the phosphorylation of the glucose analog
