Distension and chemosensitization of the stomach are insufficient to induce a ghrelin response, suggesting that postgastric feedback is required. This postgastric feedback may be regulated through insulin. We investigated the relation between gastric emptying rate and the postprandial ghrelin response as well as the role of insulin and other hormones possibly mediating this response. Fifteen healthy men [BMI 21.6 kg/m2 (SD 1.9), age 20.5 yr (SD 2.5)] were studied in a single-blind, crossover design. Subjects received two treatments separated by 1 wk: 1) a dairy breakfast in combination with a 3-h intravenous infusion of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which delays gastric emptying, and 2) a dairy breakfast in combination with a 3-h intravenous infusion of saline. Blood samples were drawn before breakfast and during the infusion. Postprandial ghrelin (total) responses were lower following the saline infusion compared with the GLP-1 infusion ( P < 0.05). Acetaminophen concentrations, an indirect measurement of gastric emptying rate, were inversely correlated with total ghrelin concentrations (saline r = −0.76; 95% CI = −0.90, −0.49, GLP-1 r = −0.47; 95% CI = −0.76, −0.04). Ghrelin concentrations were only weakly correlated with insulin concentrations (saline r = −0.36; 95% CI = −0.69, 0.09; GLP- 1 r = −0.42; 95% CI = −0.73, 0.03), but strongly inversely correlated with GIP concentrations (saline r = −0.74; 95% CI= −0.89, −0.45; GLP-1 r = −0.63; 95% CI = −0.84, −0.27). In conclusion, our results support the hypothesis that ghrelin requires postgastric feedback, which may not be regulated through insulin. Conversely, our data suggest a role of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide in ghrelin secretion.

Abstract Background Fundoplication is a well accepted method in treatment of gastro-esophageal reflux disease. High Resolution Manometry (HRM) is essential in diagnosis of functional esophageal diseases. The aim of our study was to find the place and value of HRM after 6 months of Toupet-fundoplication, and find correlation in symptoms remained, if any. Methods In 2016–2017 98 Toupet-fundoplications were performed by single surgeon. Surgeries were after HRM, EGD and pre-operative reflux symptom questionnaire performed in our Esophageal Center. Six months after surgery EGD, HRM and post-operative symptom questionnaire was planned to manage in each patients. Results Until Feb/01/2018 74/98 patients were more than 6 months after their operation. 72/74 patients completed the questionnaire and the EGD as well. 28/72 patients absolved HRM also. 25/28 patients had no complains and pre-operative symptoms relieved completely requiring neither PPI nor H2 blockers. 2/28 patients had gastric emptying problems, and 1/28 had moderate reflux associated symptom. Compared to that 22/28 patients HRM verified abnormal values mostly in DCI, however these 22 patients were asymptomatic. It has to be mentioned that DCI was better pre-operatively than post-operatively in 12 out of 22 cases. Conclusion Post-operative HRM can qualify and describe the wrap objectively (its location and basic pressure) however the latest Chicago-criteria was not developed for after-surgery states. We can conclude that post-operative routine HRM can mislead the physician, has importance only in patients with significant complains. Disclosure All authors have declared no conflicts of interest.

Sensory and motor functions of the stomach, including gastric emptying and accommodation, have significant effects on energy consumption and appetite. Obesity is characterized by energy imbalance; altered gastric functions, such as rapid gastric emptying and large fasting gastric volume in obesity, may result in increased food intake prior to reaching usual fullness and increased appetite. Thus, many different interventions for obesity, including different diets, anti-obesity medications, bariatric endoscopy, and surgery, alter gastric functions and gastrointestinal motility. In this review, we focus on the role of the gastric and intestinal functions in food intake, pathophysiology of obesity, and obesity management.

Abstract In a previous trial in Mali, we showed traditional pearl millet couscous and thick porridge delayed gastric emptying (~5 h half-emptying times) in a normal weight population compared to non-traditional carbohydrate-based foods (pasta, potatoes, white rice; ~3 h half-emptying times), and in a gastric simulator we showed millet couscous had slower digestion than wheat couscous. In light of these findings, we tested the hypothesis in a normal weight U.S. population (n=14) that millet foods would reduce glycaemic response (continuous glucose monitor), improve appetitive sensations (Visual Analog Scale ratings), as well as reduce gastric emptying rate (13C octanoic acid breath test). Five carbohydrate-based foods (millet couscous – commercial and self-made, millet thick porridge, wheat couscous, white rice) were fed in a crossover trial matched on available carbohydrate basis. Significantly lower overall glycaemic response was observed for all millet-based foods and wheat couscous compared to white rice (p≤0.05). Millet couscous (self-made) had significantly higher glycaemic response than millet couscous (commercial) and wheat couscous (p<0.0001), but as there were no differences in peak glucose values (p>0.05) an extended glycaemic response was indicated for self-made couscous. Millet couscous (self-made) had significantly lower hunger ratings (p<0.05) and higher fullness ratings (p<0.01) than white rice, millet thick porridge, and millet couscous (commercial). A normal gastric emptying rate (<3 h half-emptying times) was observed for all foods, with no significant differences among them (p>0.05). In conclusion, some traditionally prepared pearl millet foods show the potential to reduce glycaemic response and promote satiety.

Abstract Introduction Severe oesophageal dysmotility is associated with treatment resistant reflux and pulmonary reflux aspiration. Delayed solid gastric emptying (SGE) has been associated with oesophageal dysmotility, however the role of delayed liquid gastric emptying (LGE) in the pathophysiology of severe reflux disease remains unknown. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between delayed LGE, reflux aspiration and oesophageal dysmotility. Methods Data was extracted from a prospectively populated database of patients with severe treatment resistant gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD). All patients with validated reflux aspiration scintigraphy (RASP) and oesophageal manometry were included in the analysis. Patients were classified by predominant clinical subtype as gastro-oesophageal (GOR) or laryngo-pharyngeal (LPR) reflux. LGE time of 22 minutes or longer was considered delayed. Results Inclusion criteria were met by 631 patients. Normal LGE time was found in 450 patients, whilst 181 had evidence of delayed LGE. Mean liquid half-clearance was 22.81min. Refux aspiration was evident in 240 patients (38%). Difference in the aspiration rates between delayed LGE (42%) and normal LGE (36%) was not significant (p=0.16). Severe ineffective oesophageal motility (IOM) was found in 70 patients (35%) and was independent of LGE time. Severe IOM was strongly associated with reflux aspiration (p<0.001). GOR dominant symptoms were more common in patients with delayed LGE (p=0.03). Conclusion Severe IOM was strongly associated with reflux aspiration. Delayed LGE is not associated with reflux aspiration or severe IOM. Delayed LGE is more prevalent in patients presenting with GOR dominant symptoms.
