What is the role of endogenous gut serotonin in the control of gastrointestinal motility?

Pharmacological Research, 2019
In recent years, there have been dramatic changes in our understanding of the role of endogenous 5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT or serotonin) in the control of gastrointestinal (GI) motility.

Gastrointestinal Motility and Functional Gastrointestinal Diseases

Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2014
Digestive tract motility patterns are closely related to the pathophysiology of functional gastrointestinal diseases (FGID), and these patterns differ markedly between the interdigestive period and the postprandial period. The characteristic motility pattern in the interdigestive period is so-called interdigestive migrating contraction (IMC). IMCs have

Studies on Gastrointestinal Motility

Gastroenterology, 1955
Summary The antispasmodic effect of atropine, Banthine and Bentyl were studied in 35 patients after using insulin hypoglycemia to stimulate gastrocolic motility.

Diagnostic and clinical utility of the wireless motility capsule in children: A study in patients with functional gastrointestinal disorders

Neurogastroenterology and Motility, 2020
The wireless motility capsule (WMC) evaluates gastrointestinal motility and transit simultaneously. We evaluated the utility of the WMC in children with functional gastrointestinal symptoms.

Gastrointestinal motility and neurogastroenterology

Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology, 2015
Nordic research on gastrointestinal motility has since 1965 made substantial contributions to our current understanding of gastrointestinal function. During the last decade, the term neurogastroenterology has widened the concept of motility research into the study of gastrointestinal sensory-motor function, including the complex central nervous system ...

Drugs Increasing Gastrointestinal Motility

Pharmacology, 1982
Studies in animals and man have shown that metoclopramide, bethanechol and domperidone enhance the peristaltic contractions of the esophageal body, increase the muscle tone of the lower esophageal sphincter, and stimulate gastric motor activity.

Macrolides and gastrointestinal motility

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 1988
Erythromycin was the first macrolide used clinically, and it is still the most widely prescribed in spite of reports of gastrointestinal side-effects. Erythromycin was given iv or orally to fasted and fed dogs with sensors implanted on the gastrointestinal tract for the measurement of motility.

Gastrointestinal motility in obesity

Journal of Internal Medicine, 1995
Abstract. Gastrointestinal motility is closely linked to the rate at which nutrients become systemically available. Regulation of gastric emptying represents the most important brake against delivery of nutrients to the intestine in excess of digestive and absorptive capacity.

GASTROINTESTINAL MOTILITY IN PREGNANCY

Gastroenterology Clinics of North America, 1992
The gallbladder and gut should be viewed as hormonally responsive organs the normal physiology of which may be altered by the hormones of pregnancy. The gallbladder enlarges and empties sluggishly in response to meals during pregnancy. Small bowel transit is slowed, and the resting pressure of the lower esophageal sphincter is reduced.

The Gastrointestinal Motility Laboratory

Gastroenterology Clinics of North America, 2007
Abnormalities of gastrointestinal (GI) motor function contribute directly or indirectly to a number of common clinical problems and account for significant health care-related expenditure. Proper evaluation of patients who have suspected GI motility disorders is important to ensure a correct diagnosis and to embark on an appropriate plan of treatment ...
