It is hypothesized that mMφ‐derived ApoE regulates intestinal motility under physiological and stress conditions.

Abstract

Gastrointestinal (GI) motility is controlled by the coordinated activity of enteric neurons, glial cells, and resident muscularis macrophages (mMφs). Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) is highly expressed in mMφs, but its functional role in the gut remains unclear. We hypothesized that mMφ‐derived ApoE regulates intestinal motility under physiological and stress conditions.
