Actions of prolonged ghrelin infusion on gastrointestinal transit and glucose homeostasis in humans
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
Ghrelin is produced by enteroendocrine cells in the gastric mucosa and stimulates gastric emptying in healthy volunteers and patients with gastroparesis in short-term studies. The aim of this study was to evaluate effects of intravenous ghrelin on gastrointestinal motility and glucose homeostasis during a 6-h infusion in humans.
