To clarify the relationships between the onset of IMMC-pIII from the stomach or duodenum and the changes in plasma levels of gut hormones such as motilin (MOT) and somatostatin (SOM), the fasting phasic motility, especially interdigestive migrating motor complex phase III (IMMC-pIII), and changes in these 2 hormones in humans was studied.

Small intestine3
These motor complexes trigger peristaltic waves, which facilitate transportation of indigestible substances such as bone, fiber, and foreign bodies from the stomach, through the small intestine, past the ileocecal sphincter, and into the colon. (wikipedia.org)
However, in the proximal small intestine some contractions migrated rapidly and uninterrupted at 32 ± 7 cm/s over long distances (124 ± 24 cm). (utmb.edu)
Animal research has found that supplementation with the probiotics Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Bifidobacterium lactis enhances the speed and strength of phase III of the migrating motor complex in the small intestine resulting in reduced small intestinal bacterial overgrowth and bacterial translocation .

Motility4
The complex patterns of contraction and relaxation necessary for proper motility of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract are generated in the nerves and muscles within the GI walls. (medscape.com)
IBS is considered to be a complex condition with physiological and psychosocial elements in which stimuli from the central nervous system modulates altered bowel motility or sensation. (ijpsr.com)
Research in rats has found that supplementation with Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum increases small intestinal motility with a measurable decrease in the duration of migrating motor complex cycles. (wikipedia.org)
We found that VO caused vomiting (45% of trials), a decrease in gastrointestinal (GI) motility (69% of trials), salivation or licking (59% of trials), bradygastria (39% of trials), retrograde giant contraction (RGC, 43% of trials), giant migrating contraction (GMC, 5% of trials), and defecation (18% of trials).

Motilin1
Five dogs were studied with use of motilin, in doses ranging from 0.01 to 0.8 μg/kg, and with use of morphine sulfate, in doses ranging from 2.5 to 80 μg/kg, administered by close intra-aterial injection to the proximal duodenum at 40% of the spontaneous migrating motor complex cycle. (elsevierpure.com)
Peristaltic1
Random, unorganized motor activity with occasional peristaltic and antiperistaltic complexes occurs during feeding, and this allows gastric remixing of foods. (medscape.com)
Gastrointestinal4
Migrating motor complex, also known as migrating myoelectric complex, migratory motor complex, migratory myoelectric complex and MMC, is a pattern of electrical activity observed in the gastrointestinal tract in a regular cycle during fasting. (wikipedia.org)
The respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts are tremendously complex systems that play many roles that are vital to the survival of the organism. (the-medical-dictionary.com)
Another mechanism by which the gastrointestinal tract accomplishes both its digestive and protective function is through a complex system of interrelated visceral and sphincteric muscular contractions. (the-medical-dictionary.com)
Gastrointestinal motor and myoelectric correlates of motion sickness. (lookformedical.com)
Substances1
After initially producing premature migrating myoelectric complexes, both substances destabilized and obliterated electrical control activity (ECA). (utmb.edu)
Proximal1
The effect of bethanechol, neostigmine, metoclopramide, and propranolol on myoelectric activity of the ileum, cecum, and proximal loop of the ascending colon was determined in 6 healthy Jersey cows implanted with 8 pairs of bipolar electrodes. (tamu.edu)
Digestive1
The objectives of this study were to characterize the digestive tract motor and myoelectric responses associated with motion sickness. (lookformedical.com)
Morphine1
We studied the effects of morphine and loperamide on small bowel myoelectric and contractile activity in 12 conscious dogs. (utmb.edu)
Activity4
neostigmine, metoclopramide, and propranolol on myoelectric activity of the ileocecocolic area in cows. (tamu.edu)
Effect of bethanechol, neostigmine, metoclopramide, and propranolol on myoelectric activity of the ileocecocolic area in cows. (tamu.edu)
Myoelectric activity was recorded for 4 hours after treatment, and data were analyzed for each hour separately. (tamu.edu)
Metoclopramide and propranolol had no significant effect on cecocolic myoelectric activity, relative to NaCl. (tamu.edu)
Phase2
All drugs were administered during early phase I of the migrating myoelectric complex in the ileum. (tamu.edu)
A further study found that in rats supplemented with a diet of Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Bifidobacterium lactis , the number and velocity of phase iii of the migrating motor complex increased. (wikipedia.org)
Known as migrati2
Migrating motor complex, also known as migrating myoelectric complex, migratory motor complex, migratory myoelectric complex and MMC, is a pattern of electrical activity observed in the gastrointestinal tract in a regular cycle during fasting. (wikipedia.org)
During long bouts of not eating, a different pattern of movement takes place in the gut, known as migrating myoelectric complex (MMC) . (medindia.net)
Muscle1
A pattern of gastrointestinal muscle contraction and depolarizing myoelectric activity that moves from the stomach to the ILEOCECAL VALVE at regular frequency during the interdigestive period. (nih.gov)
Interdigestive1
The complex and its accompanying motor activity periodically cleanse the bowel of interdigestive secretion and debris in preparation for the next meal. (nih.gov)
