In this podcast, I-Hsuan Huang highlights the recently published paper titled "Effects of corticotropin-releasing hormone on gastric electrical activity and sensorimotor function in healthy volunteers: a double-blinded crossover study." The aim of this research was to investigate the effects of peripheral corticotropin-releasing hormone infusion on meal-related gastrointestinal symptoms, gastric electrical activity, and gastric sensorimotor function in healthy volunteers (HVs).
NEW & NOTEWORTHY In healthy volunteers, peripheral corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) infusion accelerates gastric-emptying rate and increases postprandial gastric response, accompanied by a rise in symptoms, but does not alter gastric sensitivity or meal-induced accommodation. These findings underscore a significant link between stress and dyspeptic symptoms, with CRH playing a pivotal role in mediating these effects.
