Abstract:The migrating motility complex (MMC), a cyclical phenomenon, represents rudimentary motility pattern in the gastrointestinal tract. The MMC is observed mostly in the stomach and gut of man and numerous animal species. It contains three or four phases, while its phase III is the most characteristic. The mechanisms controlling the pattern are unclear in part, although the neural control of the MMC seems crucial. The main goal of this article was to discuss the importance of intrinsic innervation of the gastroint… Show more
“…50 Romanski et al also indicated that Gas-mediated binding of the cholecystokinin receptor could stimulate gastrointestinal motility by acting on smooth muscles, and SS located in the interneurons of the submucosal and myenteric plexuses throughout the digestive tube could block the release of MTL and inhibit the motility of the intestinal tract. 51 In our study, L. fermentum XJ61, CECT5716, and YN54 alleviated the decrease in Gas in the intestinal tract of constipated mice to varying degrees, and only L. fermentum YN54 regulated both SS and VIP (Fig. 4).…”

“…21,32 Many naturally occurring peptide modulators control the MMC in the enteric nervous system, and among them the opioid receptor-dependent influences were the most significant. [33][34][35] Trimebutine also acts through the release of GI peptides such as motilin, vasoactive intestinal peptide, gastrin and glucagon. 21 Motilin and other compounds involving motilin receptors appeared to play a significant role in the initiation of phase III of the MMC in man and dogs, but not in pigs.…”
Background/AimsFunctional dyspepsia (FD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) are common gastrointestinal (GI) disorders and these patients frequently overlap. Trimebutine has been known to be effective in controlling FD co-existing diarrhea-dominant IBS, however its effect on overlap syndrome (OS) patients has not been reported. Therefore, we investigated the effect of trimebutine on the model of OS in guinea pigs.MethodsMale guinea pigs were used to evaluate the effects of trimebutine in corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) induced OS model. Different doses (3, 10, and 30 mg/kg) of trimebutine were administered orally and incubated for 1 hour. The next treatment of 10 μg/kg of CRF was intraperitoneally injected and stabilized for 30 minutes. Subsequently, intragastric 3 mL charcoal mix was administered, incubated for 10 minutes and the upper GI transit analyzed. Colonic transits were assessed after the same order and concentrations of trimebutine and CRF treatment by fecal pellet output assay.ResultsDifferent concentrations (1, 3, and 10 μg/kg) of rat/human CRF peptides was tested to establish the OS model in guinea pigs. CRF 10 μg/kg was the most effective dose in the experimental OS model of guinea pigs. Trimebutine (3, 10, and 30 mg/kg) treatment significantly reversed the upper and lower GI transit of CRF induced OS model. Trimebutine significantly increased upper GI transit while it reduced fecal pellet output in the CRF induced OS model.ConclusionsTrimebutine has been demonstrated to be effective on both upper and lower GI motor function in peripheral CRF induced OS model. Therefore, trimebutine might be an effective drug for the treatment of OS between FD and IBS patients.
