Ovarian Hormones Regulate Gut Motility and Sensitivity: The Menstrual Cycle-GI Connection
Estrogen and progesterone modulated rat gastric motility and visceral sensitivity, providing a hormonal mechanism for the menstrual cycle-related GI symptoms (bloating, altered motility, sensitivity) experienced by many women.
