Gastric Emptying Rate (GER)

01
Overview
Gastric emptying rate refers to the speed at which the stomach empties its contents into the small intestine. It is a complex process regulated by neural, hormonal, and mechanical factors, including the release of gastrointestinal hormones like ghrelin and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), and is influenced by the composition and volume of ingested food. Abnormalities in gastric emptying can lead to conditions such as gastroparesis.

02
Mechanism of action
Drugs that influence gastric emptying typically work by enhancing or inhibiting gastrointestinal motility through various mechanisms, such as increasing acetylcholine release or blocking dopamine receptors.

Safety considerations
Delayed gastric emptying can lead to malnutrition and increased risk of aspirationaccelerated emptying may cause rapid glucose spikes

Interacting drugs
Prokinetic drugs (e.g., metoclopramide, domperidone)
