Effect of changing transit time on colonic microbial metabolism in man.
An investigation was made of the effect of changing mean transit time (MTT) by administration of drugs which affect colonic motility on faecal microbial mass in man. Senokot was used to accelerate and codeine and/or loperamide to prolong transit in subjects maintained on a constant high fibre diet. Doses of Senokot or codeine/loperamide were adjusted to halve or double transit time measured dur...
متن کاملMeasurement of Colonic Transit
An abnormality in transit is commonly considered to account for unexplained gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms. This review describes the most commonly used methods for the measurement of GI transit including small bowel transit test for dyspeptic symptoms and diarrhea, colonic transit test for constipation. Colonic transit times can help uncover causative diagnoses by stratifying motility disorder...
متن کاملColonic capacitance and transit in man: modulation by luminal contents and drugs.
We have examined whether the human colon is able to adapt its capacity to receive fluid, specifically, whether the caecum and ascending colon ('right colon') exhibited any reservoir function. Healthy volunteers had the caecum intubated from above with a device that permitted intraluminal pressures to be recorded while fluids were instilled into the caecum. Perfusates contained 99mTc-DTPA (dieth...
متن کاملColonic Transit Time and Gut Peptides in Adult Patients with Slow and Normal Colonic Transit Constipation
PURPOSE To investigate whether pathophysiological differences exist among healthy controls (HC) and patients with slow and normal transit constipation (STC and NTC), we evaluated (1) gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms using validated questionnaires; (2) circulating concentrations of neurotensin, motilin, corticotrophin-releasing factor (CRF), and somatostatin; and (3) possible differences in freque...
متن کاملNitrergic regulation of colonic transit in rats.
Nitric oxide has been shown to be an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian colon, although its role in colonic transit remains unclear. We investigated the effect of the nitric oxide biosynthesis inhibitor NG -nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME) on colonic transit in conscious rats. Colonic transit was determined by calculating the geometric center of the distribution of radiochromium...
