Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: In order to investigate whether central or peripheral mu-opioid receptors control the interdigestive motor activity of the proximal gastrointestinal tract, hunger scores and plasma gastrointestinal hormone levels in man we set out to compare the effect of naloxone vs. methylnaltrexone during a small bowel manometry experiments to be taken four times: After an overnight fast a SB manometry study will be taken. Twenty minutes after the passage of a spontaneous phase 3, methylnaltrexone or saline, naloxone or saline will be administered. Motility recording will be continued until the passage of 2 more activity fronts or for a maximum of 34 hours after drug administration. During throughout the study hunger scores asssessd by VAS questionnaire and plasma ghrelin, motilin and obestatin levels will be collected. ;Secondary Objective: none;Primary end point(s): role of peripheric opioid receptors on interdigestive gastrointestinal motility and hunger.
