Objective: Slowing of gastric emptying by hyperglycemia, a physiological response to minimize postprandial hyperglycemia, may be impaired in patients with type 1 diabetes. The causes and consequences on glucose homeostasis are unknown.
Research Design And Methods: Consequences of euglycemia- and hyperglycemia-induced changes in gastric emptying on postprandial glucose fluxes and excursions were studied in 10 healthy subjects and 15 type 1 diabetic subjects after ingestion of a mixed meal using the double isotope approach ([6,6-(2)H(2)] and [1-(13)C]glucose) and scintigraphic measurements of gastric emptying.
Results: Gastric emptying was greater in type 1 diabetic subjects (90-120 min, P < 0.03), and 50% retention times were comparable in healthy subjects and type 1 diabetic subjects (167 +/- 8 vs. 152 +/- 10, P = 0.32). Hyperglycemia markedly delayed gastric emptying in healthy subjects but did not alter it in type 1 diabetic subjects (50% retention time 222 +/- 18 vs. 167 +/- 8 min, P = 0.003 and 148 +/- 9 vs. 152 +/- 10 min, P = 0.51). Plasma islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) increased approximately fourfold in healthy subjects (P < 0.001), whereas it was undetectable in type 1 diabetic subjects. IAPP replacement, using the analog pramlintide, in type 1 diabetic subjects slowed gastric emptying to a comparable extent, as did hyperglycemia in healthy subjects (P < 0.14), and greatly reduced postprandial hyperglycemia (P < 00.1). Meal-derived glucose appearance in plasma (10.7 +/- 0.5 vs. 6.8 +/- 0.7 mumol . kg(-1) . min(-1), P < 0.001) was reduced, and splanchnic glucose sequestration increased (14.0 +/- 3.0 vs. 25.0 +/- 6.0%, P = 0.04).
Conclusions: In patients with type 1 diabetes the ability to delay gastric emptying in response to hyperglycemia is impaired. This impairment contributes to exaggerated rates of meal-derived glucose appearance and, ultimately, postprandial glucose excursions.

Hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD) and hypermobility Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) are frequently associated with gastrointestinal symptoms, although the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to compare antroduodenal motility in patients with and without HSD/hEDS. We included 239 patients (50 HSD/hEDS and 189 non-HSD/hEDS) with gastrointestinal symptoms undergoing antroduodenal manometry (ADM).

Objectives: Gastroparesis is a complication following lung transplantation. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of gastroparesis in patients with lung transplants undergoing solid phase gastric emptying scintigraphy (GES). Specifically, we investigated which type of lung transplant is more susceptible to gastroparesis and whether timing of GES post-transplantation impacts diagnosis of severe gastroparesis.

Introduction: Gastrointestinal (GI) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enables simultaneous assessment of gastric peristalsis, emptying, and intestinal filling and transit. However, GI MRI in animals typically requires anesthesia, which complicates physiology and confounds interpretation and translation to humans. This study aimed to establish GI MRI in conscious rats, and for the first time, characterize GI motor functions in awake versus anesthetized conditions.
