Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en" id="ahe12062-abs-0001"> <title>Summary</title> <p>The influence of restricted feeding on the distribution of glucagon‐like peptide‐1 (GLP‐1)‐containing endocrine cells in the chicken small intestine was investigated using immunohistochemical and morphometrical techniques. This study demonstrated that the restricted feeding had an influence on the activity of GLP‐1‐immunoreactive cells in the chicken small intestine. There were differences in the localization and the frequency of occurrence of GLP‐1‐immunoreactive cells in the small intestine between control and restricted groups, especially 25% feed supply group provided with 25% of the intake during the adapting period. GLP‐1‐immunoreactive cells in the control chickens were mainly located in epithelium from crypts to the lower part of intestinal villi. Those in restricted groups, however, tended to be located from crypts to the middle part of intestinal villi. The frequency of occurrence of GLP‐1‐immunoreactive cells was lowest in the control group, medium in 50% feed supply group and highest in 25% feed supply group at each intestinal region examined in this study, that is, increased with the advancement of restricting the amount of feed supply. These data show that the quantity of food intake is one of signals that have an influence on the secretion of GLP‐1 from L cells in the chicken small intestine.</p> </abstract>
