Abstract
⺠We examine the physiologic role of BDNF synergistic with SP/CGRP on mouse gut motility. ⺠We clarify the excitatory effects of SP and bilateral effects of CGRP on the contraction of LM strips. ⺠Pretreatment with exogenous BDNF enhances the contraction of LM strips induced by SP and CGRP. ⺠Reduction of endogenous BDNF attenuated the contraction of LM strips induced by SP and CGRP. ⺠BDNF accelerates gut motility by enhancing the excitatory effects of SP/CGRP.
