Gastric motility disorders and the role of electrogastrography [PDF]
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
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.

Magnetic tracking of gastrointestinal motility [PDF]
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
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
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

Regulation of Gastrointestinal Motility by Motilin and Ghrelin in Vertebrates
The energy balance of vertebrates is regulated by the difference in energy input and energy expenditure. Generally, most vertebrates obtain their energy from nutrients of foods through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Therefore, food intake and following
