GH Peptides Restore Stomach Motility in Diabetic Mice With Gastroparesis
Ghrelin and GHRP-6 restored gastric motor function in diabetic mice with gastroparesis, increasing gastric contractions and emptying rate — complementary evidence for GH secretagogue gastroparesis therapy.
Quick Facts
What This Study Found
Ghrelin and GHRP-6 restored gastric contractile activity and emptying in diabetic gastroparesis mice, with effects mediated through smooth muscle and neural pathways — confirming GH secretagogues as gastroprokinetic agents for diabetic GI dysfunction.
