The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP),
substance P (SP), neuropeptide Y (NPY), vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and serotonin
immunoreactivity in the intestinal plexus of mole-rats (Spalax leucodon). Immunohistochemical
methods were conducted on the ileum and colon of the small and large intestine. CGRP
immunoreactive neuronal structures were detected in the form of enteric ganglia within the
myenteric plexus of ileum and colon. SP immunoreactivity in both of muscle layer of these intestine
regions were identified in the form of running nerve fibers and myenteric ganglia. Also, NPY
immunoreactive nerve cell bodies and fibers were present in the lamina propria and myenteric
plexus of ileum and colon. However, VIP and serotonin immunoreactive neuronal structures were
not detected in any other region of the small and large intestines. In conclusion, this study
demonstrated the presence of different neuronal populations in the mucosal and ganglionated
plexuses in the small and large intestine of the mole rats.
