Resumen: | Ghrelin cell density in the gastrointestinal tract of animal models of human diabetes type 1 and 2 was investigated. The animals used were non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice and obese diabetic mice. Ghrelin cells were detected by immunohistochemistry and quantified by computerized image analysis. Ghrelinimmunoreactive cells were detected in all animals studied. They were abundant in the oxyntic mucosa, patchy and few in the duodenum and rare in the colon. The density of ghrelin-immunoreactive cells decreased in diabetic, pre-diabetic NOD mice and in obese diabetic mice as compared to controls, though not statistically significant. It was concluded that the reduced density of ghrelin-immunoreactive cells in animal models of human diabetes type 1 and 2 might explain the slow gastric emptying and slow intestinal transit found in diabetes gastroenteropathy. |
