Finding new methods for measurement of gastric motility.

The disorder that affects the stomach muscles and prevents the stomach from emptying properly. Gastroparesis can cause digestive problems. Damage to a nerve that regulates stomach muscles could be the culprit. Nausea and a full feeling after a small meal are common symptoms. Changes in diet and medicine may improve. Ghrelin (GHRL) and Motilin (MLN) are hormones that regulate energy homeostasis by stimulating hunger and GI motility. The mucosal layer of the stomach and the upper small intestine, respectively, create GHRL and MLN.
