Acute regulation of intestinal ion transport and permeability in response to luminal nutrients: the role of the enteric nervous system.

CONCLUSIONS: Luminal nutrients and enteric nerve activity both affect ion flux in the mouse small intestine acutely, but independently of each other. Neither neuronal nor glial activity is required for the maintenance of baseline intestinal permeability; however, neuronal activity is essential for the acute regulation of intestinal permeability in response to luminal lipids and lipopolysaccharide.
