The “GABAergic Brake” on the Spinal Defecation Reflex: A Proposed Neurobiological Model Explaining Clozapine‐ and Benzodiazepine‐Induced Gastrointestinal Hypomotility and Ogilvie's Syndrome [PDF]
Synergistic “Double Brake” Model on the Spinal Defecation Center in Clozapine‐Induced Constipation. Real‐world data shows BZDRs increase laxative risk in schizophrenia. Mitigating the central GABAergic brake via sedative optimization and maintaining gut microbiota homeostasis prevents fatal Ogilvie's syndrome.

Treatment of intestinal and liver features in cystic fibrosis mice by the osmotic laxative polyethylene glycol [PDF]
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease affecting multiple organs, primarily the lungs and digestive system. Improved pulmonary management significantly improved life expectancy of CF patients. As a result, extrapulmonary manifestations, including gastrointestinal and liver-related symptoms, have become more relevant.

Tenapanor Beyond Phosphate: Gut Sodium Transport, Stool Transit Time, and Volume Balance in Dialysis Patients [PDF]
ABSTRACT Introduction Tenapanor, a minimally absorbed intestinal NHE3 inhibitor approved for hyperphosphatemia in dialysis, lowers phosphate and reduces intestinal sodium absorption. Its sodium–water signal may have implications beyond phosphate but remains poorly separated from diarrhea‐mediated losses and dialysis prescription artifacts. Methods This

Gastrointestinal adverse effects of GLP‐1 receptor agonists and dual GIP/GLP‐1 receptor agonists: A narrative expert review of approved therapies, oral formulations, and pipeline agents [PDF]
Abstract Background Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists (GLP‐1 RAs) and dual glucose‐dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP)/GLP‐1 receptor agonists have transformed the management of type 2 diabetes and obesity. Gastrointestinal (GI) adverse events are the most common limitation of these therapies and a leading cause of discontinuation ...
