From: The human neonatal small intestine has the potential for arginine synthesis; developmental changes in the expression of arginine-synthesizing and -catabolizing enzymes

Figure 8

Expression of enzymes involved in arginine synthesis in human small intestine at postnatal day 1. Serial sections of the distal duodenum of a 1-day-old female neonate. Panels A-C show the expression of CPS; panels D-F: ASS; and panels G-I: OAT. Endothelial expression of ASS in panel E is indicated by block arrows, while OAT expression in the smooth muscle layer of the same vessels is indicated by a white arrowhead (panel H). Panels C, F and I show the muscularis propria with the inner circular and outer longitudinal layer. Myenteric ganglia are indicated by black arrows in panels F and I. Varicose nerves in the circular muscle layer are indicated by an arrowhead in panel F. Scale bar: 100 μm.
