Existing theories are critically analysed and the hyperacidity theory is precisely defined in the light of recent physiological insights into the gastrointestinal hormone motilin. The progressive ...

When food enters the stomach, it sets off a chain reaction that releases hormones called cholecystokinin (CCK) and motilin, both produced in the small intestine. CCK stimulates the release of ...

Objective Motilin-induced phase III contractions of the migrating motor complex (MMC) signal hunger in healthy volunteers. The current aim was to study the role of motilin as a hunger-inducing factor ...
