Objective To study the relationship between gastric emptying dysfunction and neurotensin(NT) in functional dyspepsia(FD) patients. Methods Gastric emptying function in 54 FD patients was measured with solid radioopaque markers. Patients were divided into two groups according to the results, one of which with delayed gastric emptying and the other with normal gastric emptying. Seventeen healthy volunteers served as normal control group. The NT levels in plasma (fasting and postprandial) and the mucosa of gastric antrum and descending portion of duodenum were measured by radioimmunoassay(RIA). Results The NT levels in fasting and postprandial plasma and the mucosa of gastric antrum and descending portion of duodenum in FD group with delayed gastric emptying were significantly higher than those in FD group with normal gastric emptying and in normal control group. The three groups did not differ significantly in incremental extent of plasma NT after test meal. The NT levels in fasting and postprandial plasma and the mucosa of gastric antrum and descending portion of duodenum in FD group with normal gastric emptying did not differ statistically from those in normal control group. Conclusion Gastric emptying dysfunction is closely related to NT, which can inhibit gastrointestinal motility and delay gastric emptying. Thus, NT is important in the pathogenesis of FD.

Objective To study the relationship between gastrointestinal hormones and gastric emptying in functional dyspepsia (FD) patients. Methods Gastric emptying was assessed with solid radiopaque markers in 54 patients with functional dyspepsia, and then all patients were divided into two groups, one with delayed gastric emptying and the other with normal gastric emptying. 17 healthy volunteers served as normal control group. The plasma NT, MTL, Gas and SS levels (fasting and 30 minutes after meal) were measured by radioimmunoassay (RIA). Results The fasting and postprandial plasma NT levels and the postprandial plasma Gas level were significantly higher in FD group with delayed gastric emptying than those in FD group with normal gastric emptying and in normal control group. The MTL levels in fasting and postprandial plasma were significantly lower in FD group with delayed gastric emptying than those in FD group with normal gastric emptying and in normal control group. The plasma SS levels did not show differences among three groups. Conclusion Gastrointestinal dysmyotonia is closely related to NT, MTL and Gas. NT, MTL and Gas may be important in the pathogenesis of FD.
