Chronic estrogen deficiency causes gastroparesis by altering neuronal nitric oxide synthase function.
BACKGROUND: Gastroparesis affects predominantly females; however, the biological basis for this gender bias is completely unknown. Several lines of evidence suggest that nitrergic dependent stomach motility function is reduced in diabetic gastroparesis and that nNOS is estrogen-regulated. AIMS: The...
