Background: Motilin, a peptide hormone has a direct excitatory effect on circular smooth muscle strips derived from the human colon. Reduced plasma motilin concentration has been reported in ...

Researchers have seen less powerful effects of decaffeinated coffee on colon muscle movement, leading them to believe its active ingredients, including gastrin and motilin, may directly impact gut ...

Current research into effective treatments for gastroparesis is focused on agonists of motilin, a peptide hormone that accelerates gastric emptying. McCallum and colleagues studied whether ...

Various intestinal peptides, such as motilin and cholecystokinin, as well as extrinsic central nervous system control mediated through the vagal nerve, serve to modify gastric contractility in ...

“Caffeine increases gastrointestinal hormones such as CCK (cholecystokinin), gastrin and motilin, which can increase the motility of the intestines and help with smooth muscle contraction ...

Exploration actions mediated by NK3, ghrelin and motilin receptors. Consultant on gastrointestinal drug discovery and development. Bone and Joint Health, chaired by Professor Xavier Griffin is leading ...

Carcinoid tumors are part of a heterogeneous group of gastrointestinal and pancreatic endocrine tumors that are characterized by their capacity to produce and secrete hormones, 5-hydroxytryptamine ...
