Effect of ginger on lower esophageal sphincter pressure.
OBJECTIVE Ginger has been traditionally used to reduce intestinal gas and flatulence. The present study examined the effects of ginger on the esophagus and lower esophageal sphincter (LES) function by esophageal manometry. STUDY DESIGN A randomized controlled trial. SETTING Departments of Physiology and Medicine, Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital. SUBJECTS Fourteen healthy young male v...
متن کاملEffect of medium- and long-chain triglycerides on lower esophageal sphincter pressure: role of CCK.
Fat meals are known to decrease lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure, possibly through postprandial CCK release. Dietary fat consists mainly of long-chain triglycerides (LCT), which potently stimulate CCK secretion. This effect contrasts with that of medium-chain triglycerides (MCT), which do not induce CCK release. We recorded LES pressure and gallbladder volume in six healthy subjects on...
متن کاملSingle and combined effects of atropine and metoclopramide on the lower oesophageal sphincter pressure.
The effects of atropine and metoclopramide on the lower oesophageal sphincter pressure (LOSP) were studied in 12 healthy volunteers using oesophageal pressure transducers. Atropine decreased LOSP significantly at 5 min after i.v. injection (P less than 0.005) and this change was sustained for 60 min. Metoclopramide increased LOSP significantly at 3 min after administration i.v. (P less than 0.0...
متن کاملMechanics of sphincter action. Studies on the lower esophageal sphincter.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the mechanical factors involved in the genesis of lower esophageal sphincter pressure. We determined the relationship between intraluminal pressure and inside diameter, estimated the ratio between the wall thickness to inside radius, and calculated the tension in the wall of the lower esophageal sphincter as a function of the inside diameter. Various de...
متن کاملLower esophageal sphincter pressure measurement under standardized inspiratory maneuveurs.
BACKGROUND Through rhythmic variations, the diaphragm influence lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure acting as an external sphincter. LES pressure recording is characterized by increased pressure in inspiration due to contraction of the diaphragmatic crura that involves the sphincter. AIM To describe a method of measuring LES pressure during standardized inspiratory maneuvers with increa...
