- Proteases cause pain in irritable bowel syndrome
02-15-2007 · EurekAlert!
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common gastrointestinal disorder in the developed world. It is characterized by altered bowel function, abdominal discomfort, and pain. However, there are few effective treatments for IBS, in part because the molecular mechanisms underlying the disease symptoms have not been well defined. But now, researchers from the University of Calgary have provided evidence that serine proteases and PAR2 might provide new therapeutic targets for the treatment of IBS.

- Studies assess effectiveness of serotonin and nerve stimulants on irritable bowel syndromes
05-21-2007 · EurekAlert!
Studies have shown that gastrointestinal tract function is often influenced by specific stimulants or reactors, which sometimes cause irritable bowel syndrome or constipation. Two studies presented today at Digestive Disease Week 2007 take a closer look at GI stimulation, including one examining the role of serotonin and reactions to certain types of foods and another looking at the potential therapeutic value of nerve stimulation for constipation. DDW is the largest international gathering of physicians and researchers in the fields of gastroenterology, hepatology, endoscopy and gastrointestinal surgery.
