Immunohistochemical localization of taurine in the rat stomach. (A) Light micrography of cross-section showing taurine-positive processes in the antrum. (B) Light micrography of a cross-section showing taurine-immunoreactive processes in the body. (C), (D) A higher magnification of the area in (A) showing taurine-positive processes in the antrum. (E) A higher magnification of the area in (B) showing taurine-positive processes in the body. Taurine-immunoreactive cells mostly occurred in glands of the muscle layers. MM, muscularis mucosa; SM, submucosa. Arrowheads indicate taurine-positive processes. Bar = 50 μm.
