Intrinsic Gastrointestinal Macrophages: Their Phenotype and Role in Gastrointestinal Motility
There is an increasing awareness of the role of macrophages in the regulation and maintenance of gastrointestinal function in health and disease. This work has proceeded in the context of an increased understanding of the complex phenotypic variation in macrophages throughout the body and has revealed previously un-identified roles for macrophages in diseases like gastroparesis, post-operative ...
متن کاملRole of clock genes in gastrointestinal motility.
Biological rhythms coordinate the timing of our internal bodily functions. Colonic motility follows a rhythm as well: most people will have a bowel movement in the morning and rarely during the night. Recent work provides a potential mechanism for this observation: the mouse colon possesses a functional circadian clock as well as a subset of rhythmically expressed genes that may directly impact...
متن کاملGastrointestinal motility and functional gastrointestinal diseases.
Digestive tract motility patterns are closely related to the pathophysiology of functional gastrointestinal diseases (FGID), and these patterns differ markedly between the interdigestive period and the postprandial period. The characteristic motility pattern in the interdigestive period is so-called interdigestive migrating contraction (IMC). IMCs have a housekeeping role in the intestinal trac...
متن کاملGastrointestinal Motility
Anatomic regions of the stomach are the fundus, corpus (body), antrum and pylorus. The functional regions of the stomach do not correspond to the anatomic regions. Functionally, the stomach can be divided into the gastric reservoir and the gastric pump (Fig. 1). The gastric reservoir consists of the fundus and corpus. The gastric pump is represented by the area at which peristaltic waves occur:...
متن کاملGastrointestinal Motility
Gastrointestinal (GI) motility is an essential function of digestive and absorptive processes of the gut, required for propelling intestinal contents, mixing them with digestive juices, and preparing unabsorbed particles for excretion. Pivotal to the discussion of mechanisms for producing defined patterns of motor responses are important and intimately related aspects of intestinal neurophysiol...
