TL;DR: Multiple regression analysis showed that motor handicaps such as rigour and action tremor are independent predictors of solid GE and the severity of motor impairment, but not any other neurological symptom, as assessed by UPDRS is associated with gastroparesis in PD and solid emptying is more likely to be delayed.

TL;DR: GLP-1 reduces the rise in ghrelin levels in the late postprandial period at supraphysiological plasma levels and most likely is indirectly mediated through its insulinotropic action.

TL;DR: This study demonstrates for the first time in vivo a subclinical, hepatic involvement in manifest and premanifest Huntington disease (HD) by using the 13C-methionine breath test.

TL;DR: The 13C-methionine breath test indicates mitochondrial dysfunction in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and predicts higher stages of disease activity and may, therefore, be a valuable diagnostic addition for longitudinal monitoring of hepatic (mitochondrial) function inNon- alcoholic fatty Liver disease.

TL;DR: The mechanisms underlying GLP-2 induced intestinal wound repair seem to involve the secretion of VEGF and, subsequently, TGF-beta from subepithelial fibroblasts, whereas KGF appeared to be less important.
