Decreased plasma motilin concentrations in pregnancy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Plasma motilin concentrations were measured in 37 women during the second and third trimester of pregnancy and one week after delivery. The mean plasma motilin concentrations, both fasting and after a glucose load and a mixed meal, were significantly (p less than 0.001) reduced during pregnancy, returning to the normal range one week post partum. Pregnancy appears to have a profound inhibitory effect on plasma motilin, and this may in part be responsible for the gastrointestinal hypomotility associated with pregnancy.

Peripheral or central administration of motilin suppresses LH release in female rats: a novel role for motilin.
Motilin is secreted in a clear episodic pattern during fasting or during the interdigestive phase, but feeding promptly stops this secretory pattern, and plasma concentrations of motilin decrease. We have previously determined that fasting markedly suppresses pulsatile luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion in female rats in the presence of oestrogen. In the present study, we wished to learn if mot...
متن کاملMotilin effects on the proximal stomach in patients with functional dyspepsia and healthy volunteers.
This study investigates motilin effects on the proximal stomach in patients with functional dyspepsia (FD) and healthy volunteers. Eight healthy volunteers and 12 patients with FD were infused with synthetic motilin or placebo. Proximal gastric volume was measured with a barostat at constant pressure and during isobaric distensions. Abdominal symptoms were scored by visual analog scales. Plasma...
متن کاملIncreased plasma motilin concentrations in small cell carcinoma of the lung.
Plasma samples from 21 patients with small cell carcinoma of the lung were screened for pancreatic polypeptide, somatostatin, motilin, and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide. One patient had severe impairment of both renal and liver function. In the 20 remaining subjects vasoactive intestinal polypeptide concentrations were normal, and only two patients had increased concentrations of somatostat...
متن کاملErythromycin effects on gastric emptying, antral motility and plasma motilin and pancreatic polypeptide concentrations in anorexia nervosa.
In primary anorexia nervosa, gastric motility is often impaired and ensuing symptoms further discourage eating. Prokinetic agents have been shown to accelerate gastric emptying in affected patients. This study investigated whether emptying of a radiolabelled semisolid 1168 kJ meal and antral contractility were enhanced by intravenous erythromycin. Eight women and two men with anorexia nervosa (...
متن کاملInterdigestive migrating contractions are coregulated by ghrelin and motilin in conscious dogs.
During fasting, gastrointestinal (GI) motility is characterized by cyclical motor contractions. These contractions have been referred to as interdigestive migrating contractions (IMCs). In dogs and humans, IMCs are known to be regulated by motilin. However, in rats and mice, IMCs are regulated by ghrelin. It is not clear how these peptides influence each other in vivo. The aim of the present st...
