title: [Action of TRH on gastrointestinal motility in vitro (author's transl)].
abstract: Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) was studied for its effects on some strips of the gastrointestinal tract in vitro. TRH showed to possess a certain stimulatory activity on proximal segments of the g.i. tract being approximately as effective as histamine. This motor activity of TRH is discussed taking into account a possible physiological role outside the brain.
