Abstract

Region-specific antimotilin sera were used to investigate the presence of motilin-containing cells in the intestines of humans, dogs, cats, and rats. Motilin-containing cells were observed in the duodenal mucosa of humans, dogs, and cats. However, motilin-like immunoreactivity was not detected in any region of the rat intestinal tract. Results of this study suggest that motilin is not present in the intestinal tract of the rat or that it exists in a storage from that differs significantly from that of other species.
