[The perspectives of using the electromyography method in nutrition science].
Investigation of the electrical activity of smooth muscle in disorders of motor function of the gastrointestinal tract is a modern method which let to assess not only the function, but also violations of related systems. Particularly, the level of electromotor activity can be measure of the rate of intestinal transit and its effect on the absorption of nutrients from different regions.. Non invasivity of the method allows its repeated use in difficult diagnostic cases.
