Involvement of PPAR\u3b3 in the anticonvulsant activity of EP-80317, a ghrelin receptor antagonist [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Ghrelin, des-acyl ghrelin and other related peptides possess anticonvulsant activities. Although ghrelin and cognate peptides were shown to physiologically regulate only the ghrelin receptor, some of them were pharmacologically proved to activate the ...

A Review of the Mechanisms of Action of the Herbal Medicine, STW 5‐II, Underlying Its Efficacy in Disorders of Gut–Brain Interaction

open access: yesNeurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
The pathophysiology of functional dyspepsia and irritable bowel syndrome includes altered motility, secretion, sensitivity to sensory signals, impaired epithelial barrier function, inflammation, and gut dysbiosis. The phytomedicine, STW 5‐II, represents a multi‐targeted approach, addressing these pathophysiologies.

Psychological and Clinical Factors Mediate Post‐COVID‐19 Irritable Bowel Syndrome

open access: yesNeurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Exposure to COVID‐19 has been shown previously to be associated with a higher risk for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). This study aimed to better explain this relationship using mediation analysis. Methods This post hoc analysis of a multicenter cohort study includes 623 patients with and without COVID‐19 infection.
