Popis: To determine if infant formulas affect the enteric neuronal response to gut injury, we quantified, in anaesthetized rabbits, the time-dependent increase in intestinal substance P (SP) content in response to luminal acetic acid alone and in combination with various infant formulas. Loops of distal small intestine received by transmural injection, either saline or acetic acid (200 mmol/L) + calcium gluconate (50 mg/ml), alone or in combination with three infant formulas which differed in protein and lipid composition. Intestinal SP was extracted in boiling HCl (0.1 mol/L); levels were quantified by radioimmunoassay in a double blind manner. Acetic acid treatment for 45 min did not affect SP content; however, a significant increase (24–47%) was observed after 3 h (p
