Ferulic acid suppresses ileal smooth muscle contraction by inhibiting calcium ion influx through voltage-dependent calcium channels. This action may help prevent or treat excessive intestinal motility ...

Figure 1A:In the awaken and fasted state, typical MMC contractile movements were seen in the gastric body, sinus, duodenum and jejunum in beagle dogs, while the colon was dominated by intermittent ...

In this procedure, a capsule with a tiny wireless transmitter is swallowed, and transmits information about the movements and contents of the gut to an external device. The capsule moves through the ...

Scientists show that the receptor PIEZO2 in sensory neurons controls gut motility and transit time, which are important for digestion and nutrient absorption. Gastrointestinal and digestive issues ...

Understanding how GLP-2 controls appetite could unlock new strategies for combating obesity, offering hope for more effective treatments. Study: The Possible Involvement of Glucagon-like Peptide-2 in ...

A new Brazilian magnetic tracking technology aims to provide real-time, radiation-free evaluation of gastrointestinal transit in outpatient settings, potentially expanding access to functional testing ...

RUDN University scientists have discovered that in weightlessness, the contractile activity of smooth muscles in the hollow organs of the gastrointestinal tract is disrupted. New data must be taken ...

Anxiety affects gut motility, causing diarrhea or constipation, and can exacerbate conditions like IBS by altering intestinal contractions. Stress increases intestinal inflammation by weakening the ...

A new study has shown that the physical movements of the gut influence how enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) colonizes and activates its virulence genes in living hosts. Using zebrafish models, ...
