Musculotropics such as mebeverine act directly at the smooth muscle of the gastrointestinal tract, relieving spasm without affecting normal gut motility.
All three forms of Allatostatin appear to inhibit gut motility in all the insects which have been tested.
Older people can suffer from constipation and bowel problems mainly due to a reduced gut motility and inactivity.
Do not take laxatives for constipation; they can permanently impair gut motility.
In invertebrates, the FMFRamide-related peptides are known to affect heart rate, blood pressure, gut motility, feeding behaviour and reproduction.
Certain medications, such as antidepressants and anti-spasmodics, can contribute to reduced gut motility.
This drug not only slows gut motility and decreases small bowel secretion, but also increases anal sphincter strength.
Autonomic feedback is already known to regulate other physiologic systems, such as breathing, blood pressure, and gut motility.
Desmosis is implicated in disturbed gut motility.
Cause of bowel impairments in MS patients is usually either a reduced gut motility or an impairment in neurological control of defectation.
