Chemoneurolysis of the canine gastric submucosa: changes in acetylcholinesterase activity.
Infiltration of the gastric fundic submucosa with 25 per cent ethyl alcohol markedly reduces the mean acetylcholinesterase rate of activity in the fundic mucosa and submucosa. This can be considered as evidence for a reduction in the acetylcholine concentration caused by a destruction of the submucosal plexus.
