Impaired neural pathway in gastric muscles of patients with diabetes

Abstract To explore the pathogenic mechanism of diabetic gastropathy, we investigated differences in response to electrical field stimulation (EFS) of gastric muscles from diabetic and non-diabetic (control) patients. Gastric specimens were obtained from 34 patients and 45 controls who underwent gas...

Gastric specimens were obtained from 34 patients and 45 controls who underwent gastrectomy for early gastric cancer. Using organ bath techniques, we examined peak and nadir values of contraction under EFS. To examine responses to purinergic and nitrergic inhibition without cholinergic innervation, atropine, MRS2500, and N-nitro-L-arginine (L-NNA) were added sequentially to the organ bath. Tetrodotoxin (TTX) was used to confirm that the responses to EFS were mediated via neural stimulation. In the absence of pharmacological agents, peak contraction amplitude was greater in non-diabetic controls compared to diabetics only in the distal longitudinal gastric muscles. However, the nadir was greater in controls than in patients in both proximal and distal gastric circular muscles. Addition of MRS2500 could not decrease the nadir in both controls and patients, both in the proximal and distal stomach. However, L-NNA completely reversed the relaxation. TTX had no further effect on nadir. In conclusion, impaired inhibitory nitrergic neural pathway in both proximal and distal stomach and impaired excitatory cholinergic neural pathway in the distal stomach may contribute to the pathogenic mechanism underlying diabetic gastropathy.Yang Won MinEun-Ju KoJi-Yeon LeePoong-Lyul RheeNature PortfolioarticleMedicineRScienceQENScientific Reports, Vol 8, Iss 1, Pp 1-9 (2018)
