Drugs targeting functional bowel disorders: insights from animal studies.

Abstract:

:Increased understanding of gastrointestinal pathophysiology in functional bowel disorders is leading to improved focus on relevant enteric, vagal and spinal afferent nervous systems, and targets operating on these systems. These targets include receptors for tachykinins, motilin, ghrelin, corticotropin-releasing factor and somatostatin.
