The purpose of this work was to study the neurons of the myenteric plexus of the cecum of rats with chronic streptozotocin-induced diabetes. We used four experimental groups of animals. In groups D2 and D8 animals were killed two and eight months, respectively, after diabetes induction and groups C2 and C8 were used as controls. We carried out whole-mount preparations stained with Giemsa and NADH-diaphorase. We verified that the diabetes did not alter the shape and disposition of the myenteric ganglia; it provoked decrease on the neuronal density and increase on the incidence of weakly basophilic neurons. The effects of streptozotocin caused dilatation of the cecum still evidenced two months after induction, but no more observed on the eight months after induction. The smaller incidence of neurons in group D8 relative to group C8 was due to the early loss related to the drug toxicity and later to the aging in diabetic condition.

D009197 Myenteric Plexus One of two ganglionated neural networks which together form the ENTERIC NERVOUS SYSTEM. The myenteric (Auerbach's) plexus is located between the longitudinal and circular muscle layers of the gut. Its neurons project to the circular muscle, to other myenteric ganglia, to submucosal ganglia, or directly to the epithelium, and play an important role in regulating and patterning gut motility.
