Effect of cerebellar modulation on gastroduodenal PGE2 and 5-HT content of rat.
Nodular cerebellar lesion decreased PGE2 and 5-HT content of gastroduodenal tissue along with a decrease in enterochromaffin (EC) cell count. On the other hand, when nodular lesioned rats were subjected to vestibular stimulation, both PGE2 and 5-HT content of gastroduodenal tissue and EC cell count increased, suggesting nodular cerebellar influence on PGE2 and 5-HT content of gastroduodenal tissue.
