Several segments of the gastrointestinal tract of the white-belly opossum Didelphis albiventris were investigated immunocytochemically for the occurrence of polypeptide YY (PYY) and enteroglucagon (GLU). PYY- and GLU-immunoreactive cells were observed in the lower part of the ileum, cecum and colon. These cells were seen to emit cytoplasmic basal processes to the neighbouring cells with a number of them reaching the glandular lumen via apical cytoplasmic process. GLU-immunoreactive cells were also present in the oxyntic mucosae and in the pancreatic duct. Staining of consecutive sections for the two polypeptides, respectively, revealed the coexistence of immunoreactivity for PYY and GLU in the same cell type.

D010455 Peptides Members of the class of compounds composed of AMINO ACIDS joined together by peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids into linear, branched or cyclical structures. OLIGOPEPTIDES are composed of approximately 2-12 amino acids. Polypeptides are composed of approximately 13 or more amino acids. PROTEINS are considered to be larger versions of peptides that can form into complex structures such as ENZYMES and RECEPTORS. Peptide,Polypeptide,Polypeptides
D004064 Digestive System A group of organs stretching from the MOUTH to the ANUS, serving to breakdown foods, assimilate nutrients, and eliminate waste. In humans, the digestive system includes the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT and the accessory glands (LIVER; BILIARY TRACT; PANCREAS). Ailmentary System,Alimentary System
D004386 Duodenum The shortest and widest portion of the SMALL INTESTINE adjacent to the PYLORUS of the STOMACH. It is named for having the length equal to about the width of 12 fingers. Duodenums
D004763 Glucagon-Like Peptides Peptides derived from proglucagon which is also the precursor of pancreatic GLUCAGON. Despite expression of proglucagon in multiple tissues, the major production site of glucagon-like peptides (GLPs) is the INTESTINAL L CELLS. GLPs include glucagon-like peptide 1, glucagon-like peptide 2, and the various truncated forms.
