| Research Abstract |
Gut lumen is continually exposed to many agents, including noxious compounds. Chemical receptors that detect the luminal environment are thought to play an important role as sensors and as modulators of epithelial cell functions. In the present research, function of chemical sensors in the rat and human large intestine were investigated.
