Duodenal nutrient exposure contributes to enhancing gastric accommodation

Background The gastric accommodation reflex consists of a relaxation which creates a reservoir for the ingested food before emptying to the duodenum occurs. The mechanisms that control gastric accommodation are not fully understood. This study aims to use intragastric pressure (IGP) measurement and pyloric balloon obstruction to determine the contribution of duodenal nutrient exposure to gastric accommodation and meal‐induced satiation.
