Plasma motilin levels in duodenal ulcer and effect of a truncal vagotomy and hypoglycaemia. 1978

N D Christofides, and S R Bloom

The identical response of plasma motilin levels, in duodenal ulcer patients and healthy controls, to a test meal and insulin induced hypoglycaemia, fail to demonstrate any significant abnormalities in motilin release. The close correlation between blood glucose and motilin suggest a possible role of this new hormone in carbohydrate metabolism.

D008693	Methallibure	A dithiobiurea compound with anti-gonadotropic activity.	Aimax,ICI-33,828,Metallibur,Metallibure,Suisynchron,Turisynchron,ICI 33,828,ICI33,828
D010053	Ovary	The reproductive organ (GONADS) in female animals. In vertebrates, the ovary contains two functional parts: the OVARIAN FOLLICLE for the production of female germ cells (OOGENESIS); and the endocrine cells (GRANULOSA CELLS; THECA CELLS; and LUTEAL CELLS) for the production of ESTROGENS and PROGESTERONE.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013737	Testis	The male gonad containing two functional parts: the SEMINIFEROUS TUBULES for the production and transport of male germ cells (SPERMATOGENESIS) and the interstitial compartment containing LEYDIG CELLS that produce ANDROGENS.	Testicles,Testes,Testicle
D013890	Thiourea	A photographic fixative used also in the manufacture of resins. According to the Fourth Annual Report on Carcinogens (NTP 85-002, 1985), this substance may reasonably be anticipated to be a carcinogen (Merck Index, 9th ed). Many of its derivatives are ANTITHYROID AGENTS and/or FREE RADICAL SCAVENGERS.
D014628	Vagotomy	The interruption or removal of any part of the vagus (10th cranial) nerve. Vagotomy may be performed for research or for therapeutic purposes.	Vagotomies
