Research

    Overview of research:
    By investigating gene expressions of intestinal hormone receptors in the nodose ganglion, my research goal is to testify the hypothesis that some intestinal hormones act, at least in part, via neural reflexes through hormone-receptive vagal afferent fibers distributed in the portal area.
