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

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.

Role of Cytolethal Distending Toxin in Altered Stool Form and Bowel Phenotypes in a Rat Model of Post-infectious Irritable Bowel Syndrome. [PDF]
, 2012 Background/aimsCampylobacter jejuni infection is a leading cause of acute gastroenteritis, which is a trigger for post-infectious irritable bowel syndrome (PI-IBS). Cytolethal distending toxin (CDT) is expressed by enteric pathogens that cause PI-IBS. We

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
