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