.... In these countries, most patients underwent both upper endoscopy and Helicobacter pylori test to diagnose FD. Colonoscopy was also frequently performed to diagnose IBS and chronic constipation. The frequency of gastrointestinal motility testing to examine gastric emptying and colonic transit time varied among Asian...

... was to investigate the effect of GSS on GI motility functions in mice. Methods: Percent intestinal transit rate (ITR%) and gastric emptying (GE) values were measured using Evans Blue and phenol red, respectively, in normal mice and in mice with experimentally induced GI motility dysfunction (GMD). Results: In normal...

...Hideki Mori; Hidekazu Suzuki; Juntaro Matsuzaki; Kanami Taniguchi; Toshiyuki Shimizu; Tsuyoshi Yamane; Tatsuhiro Masaoka; Takanori Kanai Background and Aim: Delayed gastric emptying is one of the reasons why functional dyspepsia (FD) occurs. The 13 C-acetate breath test is widely used to evaluate...

... to nutrient challenge test compared to uncomplicated peptic ulcer disease (uPUD). We postulated that more symptoms are manifest in patients with uPUD than BPU because there are greater derangements in gastric motor function. Aim: To assess gastric emptying in patients with BPU, uPUD and healthy controls (HC...

... characterized by various upper abdominal symptoms. The major mechanism of FD includes impaired fundic accommodation, delayed gastric emptying and visceral hypersensitivity. We developed a novel drinking-ultrasonography test to combine a drink test with ultrasonography to assess gastric motility and sensory...

...Leslie J.C. Bluck; Sarah J. Jackson; Georgios Vlasakakis; Adrian Mander Background: The 13 C-octanoic acid breath test is a convenient method for assessing gastric emptying (GE). Success depends on obtaining a well-characterized time profile of the excretion of label in breath, which may...

.... The major mechanism of FD symptoms includes impaired fundic accommodation, delayed gastric emptying, and visceral hypersensitivity. We developed a novel drinking-ultrasonography test to combine a drink test with ultrasonography to assess gastric motility and sensory function of FD patients. Method: Subjects...

...K.J. Lee; D.Y. Cha; S.J. Cheon; M. Yeo; S.W. Cho Background/Aims: Ghrelin affects gastric motility. However, little is known about the role of ghrelin in the pathophysiology of functional dyspepsia (FD). We investigated plasma ghrelin levels and their relationship with gastric emptying time...

... with PDS, EPS or NERD. Thus, this study aims to evaluate the correlation between gastric emptying and ghrelin levels as possible candidate factors for gastric motility in these diseases. Methods: One hundred and fifty-one patients presenting with typical symptoms of FD (EPS, n = 36; PDS, n = 76) or NERD (n...

...Claus Riber; Liselotte Hojgaard; Jan Lysgaard Madsen; Jens Frederik Rehfeld; Ole Olsen The aim of the present study was to compare gallbladder emptying, gastric emptying and release of cholecystokinin (CCK), gastrin and secretin after intragastric administration offish oil and trioleate. After...

...G. Sütő; Á. Király; V. Plourde; Y. Taché The role of corticotrophin-releasing factor (CRF) and prostaglandin in interleukin-1β (IL-1β)-induced delayed gastric emptying was investigated. Gastric emptying was monitored 20 min after orogastric delivery of a methylcellulose phenol red solution...

... a 30-min collection period. Using this test, it was demonstrated that a pancreatin preparation containing small microspheres (1.0-1.2 mm) induces high duodenal lipolytic activity parallel to gastric emptying of food. In contrast, the gastric emptying of large microspheres (1.8-2.0 mm) is significantly...

...M. van Wyk; De K. Sommers; J. Moncrieff This study examines the influence of the serotonergic system on the effect of metoclopramide on gastric emptying. Six subjects received the following pre-treatments before metoclopramide and paracetamol: fluoxetine (5-HT uptake inhibitor); meterogoline (5-HT...

...P. Poitras; M. Boivin; J. Morais; M. Picard; P. Mercier Whether mastication of food by teeth is a physiological contributor in the process of nutrient digestion remains a debatable issue. In this study we sought to determine whether mastication could influence the gastric emptying of solid food...

...O.H. Nielsen; K. Hvid-Jacobsen; P. Lund; E. Langholz Thirty-seven consecutive patients referred to a regional gastroenterology outpatient clinic with complaints of persistent nausea had a double isotopic scintigraphic evaluation of solid and liquid gastric emptying. Gastric emptying of both forms...

...S.J. Konturek; N. Kwiecien; W. Obtulowicz; B. Kopp; J. Oleksy; L. Rovati Cholecystokinin (CCK) is known to inhibit gastric acid secretion and gastric emptying but its physiological role in the inhibition of gastric functions is not settled. In this study performed on 16 young male subjects, gastric...

...). The peptide had no significant effect on basal levels of glucose and insulin. However, during its administration, the insulin response and the expected rise in blood glucose after oral glucose load (50 g) were strongly inhibited, and the gastric emptying of liquids was significantly delayed. On the contrary...

...) and 25 elderly subjects (mean age 81.7 years) without gastro-intestinal complaints or severe medical illness. The rate of gastric emptying was determined by an anterior gamma camera technique, mouth-to-caecum transit by the hydrogen breath test and whole-gut transit by the first stool passage...

...G. Jonderko; T. Gołąb; K. Jonderko The effect on gastric emptying of synthetic salmon calcitonin administered intravenously (415 pmol bolus injection followed by infusion to reach an overall dose of 62.25 pmol •kg -1 body mass) versus placebo was examined in 13 healthy men. Gastric emptying...

... enprostil. Gastric emptying, measured using a gamma camera, was unchanged but mouth-to-caecum transit time was significantly longer on enprostil; time to half maximal breath hydrogen: placebo 119 min, enprostil 200 min (p < 0.05). This delay was associated with a reduced and delayed post-prandial rise...
