Gastric motility disorders and the role of electrogastrography [PDF]
Liječnički vjesnik, 2022 Abnormal gastric motility occurs in many pediatric gastrointestinal organic diseases but also functional disorders. Gastrointestinal motility results from complex interaction od muscles, myenteric plexus, peripheral nervous system, and brain.

Anatomical and functional maturation of the mid-gestation human enteric nervous system
Nature Communications, 2023 Immature gastrointestinal motility impedes preterm infant survival. The enteric nervous system controls gastrointestinal motility, yet it is unknown when the human enteric nervous system matures enough to carry out vital functions.

Application of optogenetics in the study of gastrointestinal motility: A mini review
Journal of Innovative Optical Health Sciences, 2023 Disorders of gastrointestinal (GI) motility are associated with various symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and constipation. However, the underlying causes of impaired GI motility remain unclear, which has led to variation in the efficacy of therapies to

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.

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

Exogenous Hydrogen Sulfide Within the Nucleus Ambiguus Inhibits Gastrointestinal Motility in Rats
Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a neuromodulator in the central nervous system. However, the physiological role of H2S in the nucleus ambiguus (NA) has rarely been reported. This research aimed to elucidate the role of H2S in the regulation of gastrointestinal

Effects of gastrointestinal motility on obesity [PDF]
Nutrition & Metabolism, 2014 Changes of gastrointestinal motility, which are important related to the food digestion and absorption in the gastrointestinal tract, may be one of the factors in obesity-formation.The changes of gastrointestinal motility were explored in the rats from diet-induced obesity (DIO), diet-induced obese resistant (DR) or control (CON) by diet intervention ...

Methanogens, Methane and Gastrointestinal Motility [PDF]
Journal of Neurogastroenterology and Motility, 2014 Anaerobic fermentation of the undigested polysaccharide fraction of carbohydrates produces hydrogen in the intestine which is the substrate for methane production by intestinal methanogens. Hydrogen and methane are excreted in the flatus and in breath giving the opportunity to indirectly measure their production using breath testing.
