Title:
Effects of the probiotic yeast {Saccharomyces} boulardii on the neurochemistry of myenteric neurones in pig jejunum.
Abstract:
We studied the effects of food supplementation with Saccharomyces boulardii (S. boulardii; synonym S. cerevisiae HANSEN CBS 5926; 1 g per day for 9 days) on the presence and co-localization patterns of neuronal markers in myenteric neurones of the pig jejunum. The pan neuronal marker Hu revealed no change in the number of neuronal cell bodies per ganglion (37 +/- 7 in control vs 34 +/- 9 in the S. boulardii group). Ranked by size the following cell populations were identified: choline acetyl...     »
