Results: We show that galanin, a neuropeptide expressed in the small
intestine, decreases duodenal
contraction by stimulating nitric oxide release from enteric neurons.
It works
by stimulating a
contraction - relaxation -
contraction rhythm in the
intestines, therefore leading to regularity.
This
contraction, assisted
by the small
intestine's
contractions, induces the gallbladder's small round muscle and the stored bile is propelled into the duodenum where it mixes with food from your stomach and pancreatic juices from the pancreas
by way of the pancreatic duct.
Certain other OTC medications work
by triggering stronger
contractions in the large
intestine.
