Relaxin and gastrointestinal motility
Italian journal of anatomy and embryology = Archivio italiano di anatomia ed embriologia, 2013 Relaxin is involved in a variety of functions. Among them, relaxin influences gastrointestinal motility in mice mainly regulating the biosynthesis of nitric oxide, considered as the main substance causing smooth muscle relaxations. Relaxin is able to regulate the different nitric oxide synthase expression depending on the gut region considered. Relaxin

Magnetic tracking of gastrointestinal motility [PDF]
Physiological Measurement, 2020 AbstractCapsule-based methods for assessment of gastrointestinal (GI) motility have seen great improvements in recent decades. The most recent development is the electromagnetic Motilis 3D-Transit system (3D-Transit). The aim of this paper is to review and discuss the development and technical properties of magnetic tracking of GI motility.
