BackgroundLuminal application of 5-HT4 receptor agonists can increase peristalsis in the guinea pig, mouse, rat and rabbit colon. Our aim in the present study was to test the effects of intraluminal prucalopride on motor patterns in the human colon. MethodsColonic motor patterns were studied in vivo in a healthy volunteer using High-Resolution Colonic Manometry (HRCM) with an 84-sensor water perfused catheter with 1cm spacing. 5-HT and 5-HT4 receptor immunohistochemistry was performed on human ...
