Is postprandial transduodenal bolus transport regulated by complex peristaltic sequence?
Combined impedancometry and manometry improves the analysis of the peristaltic patterns that are associated with postprandial transduodenal chyme transport. Postprandial transduodenal bolus transport is regulated by propulsive peristaltic patterns, which are frequently complex but well organized. This finding should be taken into consideration in the analysis of intestinal motility studies.
These findings demonstrate that the modulation of GIRK channels affects I1R's function and raise the possibility that GIRK channels, and I1Rs are parts of a single proteic complex.
