Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Ana Karolina Martins Cavalcante"
- Ana Karolina Martins Cavalcante's research predominantly focuses on the impact of exercise and various pharmacological agents on gastrointestinal motility and function in animal models, particularly rats exposed to conditions such as dexamethasone treatment and cachexia induced by AH-130 cells
- Studies reveal that both anaerobic resistance training and different pharmacological compounds can modulate gastric emptying, nutritional parameters, and food behavior, indicating potential therapeutic strategies for gastrointestinal disorders and the metabolic side effects of medications
- Findings emphasize the nuanced role of neurohumoral mechanisms, such as cholecystokinin and oxytocin, in regulating gastric motility in response to physical exercise, while also uncovering limited benefits of certain interventions, like L-glutamine supplementation, on gastric dysmotility in conditions like ulcerative colitis
