The effect of somatostatin on intestinal motility has been investigated. The demonstrated inhibition of the motility has proved to be suitable for performing double contrast examinations of the small intestine, particularly as the tolerability to somatostatin is better than to other comparative substances.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
