Abstract: We studied the effect of gastrin-17 on lower esophageal sphincter (LES) characteristics in man. Nine healthy volunteers participated in two experiments performed in random order during continuous infusion of saline (control) or gastrin-17 (15 pmol/kg/hr). LES pressure (LESP) and transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxations (TLESR), as most the important reflux mechanism, were measured with intraesophageal sleeve manometry combined with pH metry. Infusion of gastrin-17 resulted in plasma gastrin levels comp… Show more

“…[1417] Moreover, individuals with impaired renal function have elevated serum gastrin levels due to reduced excretion and impaired metabolism in the liver degradation of gastrin. [141619] Straathof et al [20] reported that postprandial plasma concentrations of gastrin, in addition to its effect on gastric acid secretion, decrease LES pressure and increase the transient LES relaxations associated with reflux. These factors collectively may explain the higher prevalence of GERD in our group of patients with ESRD.…”

“…It is likely that the physiological mechanism whereby type of carbohydrate and type of fat would influence AET and total number of reflux episodes is via stimulating the release of GI hormones such as ghrelin, gastrin, and glucagon-like peptide-1 that affect secretion of gastric acid and thereby decrease LES pressure and increase transient LES relaxations. 31 , 59 , 60 …”

“… 26 Other hormonal factors that may be involved in the relationship between dietary intake, overweight/obesity, and GERD include glucagon-like polypeptide 1 (GLP-1) signaling, which may inhibit gastric emptying, 27 , 28 and gastrin which stimulates acid release in the stomach and increases LES tone. 29 31 …”

“…The role of gastrin in the pathophysiology of GERD is related to its feedback on the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) mediated by cholecystokinin receptors. It leads to a decrease in LES pressure and to an increase in the percentage of transient LES relaxation episodes associated with GERD [16]. The main role of G-17 consists of the stimulation of gastric acid secretion mediated by a specific receptor on parietal cells.…”
