The role of neurotensin in gut motility
Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology. Supplement
|January 1, 1984
Abstract:
The physiological significance of neurotensin, with respect to gut motility in man, may be to mediate postprandial, fat-induced changes in the motility pattern of the gastrointestinal tract. There is strong experimental evidence that this effect of neurotensin is endocrine-mediated. The role of neurotensin as a paracrine hormone, neurotransmitter or neurocrine hormone remains to be determined.
