Molecularly defined serotonin (enterochromaffin) cells of the gut lining were distinguished by single-cell expression analysis, in situ hybridization, and immunohistochemistry into 14 topographically ...

The study, published in Nature, found that special gut cells, called enterochromaffin (EC) cells, play a more significant role in pain than previously thought, by detecting harmful stimuli and ...

Circulating serotonin is produced in the duodenum by enterochromaffin cells, specialized endocrine cells in the epithelia lining the gut, and functions within a specialized neuroendocrine network.

Enterochromaffin (EC) cells and expression of leptin, PAX4 (critical factor for EC specification), tryptophane hydroxylase-1 (TPH1, the peripheral rate-limiting enzyme for 5HT) and 5HT were ...

since serotonin is an important neurotransmitter in the GI tract and greater than 80% of the body's stores are located in enterochromaffin cells of the gut. [48] The exact role of serotonin in the ...

However, cytotoxic chemotherapy appears to be associated with release of serotonin from the enterochromaffin cells of the small intestine. See full labeling. Highly emetogenic chemotherapy ...
