VISCERAL PERCEPTION Serotonergic modulation of visceral sensation: upper gastrointestinal tract
Agents that modify serotonergic function have therapeutic potential for the treatment of visceral hypersensitivity, either through a direct effect on perception or through modulation of visceral tone or motility. Administration of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors reduces oesophageal sensitivity to distension but not gastric sensitivity to distension. 5-HT ligands may also influence gastr...

متن کاملVISCERAL PERCEPTION Serotonergic modulation of visceral sensation: lower gut
The role of 5-HT agents in the modulation of lower gastrointestinal function is discussed. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are of potential benefit in functional gastrointestinal diseases although formal evidence is lacking. Novel pharmacological approaches include 5-HT3 antagonists and 5-HT4 agonists. These pharmacological classes have shown beneficial effects on a global efficacy end ...
متن کاملSpinal and supraspinal modulation of visceral sensation.
In response to perceived or experienced change, which is considered threatening to the individual, the central nervous system mounts a stereotypic response which decreases the sensitivity to somatic pain, modulates autonomic nervous system outflow, and activates the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. Recent experimental evidence obtained in rats suggests that this response can be associated w...
متن کاملUpper Gastrointestinal Tract Bleeding : Assessing
Various strategies can be used in the diagnosis of upper gastrointestinal tract bleeding. This study investigates the relevance of anamnestic and clinical findings for the diagnosis of the bleeding source. The authors introduced a computer-aided diagnostic system using Bayes’ theorem and compared it with clinicians’ predictions using anamnestic and clinical findings only. There was no differenc...
