Agonist

An agonist is a chemical that activates a receptor to produce a biological response.

See Mosapride and Agonist

Antagonist

An antagonist is a character in a story who is presented as the main enemy and rival of the protagonist.

See Mosapride and Antagonist

Functional dyspepsia (FD) is a common gastrointestinal disorder defined by symptoms emanating from the gastroduodenal region in the absence of an underlying organic disease that may easily explain the symptoms.

See Mosapride and Functional dyspepsia

Gastritis

Gastritis is the inflammation of the lining of the stomach.

See Mosapride and Gastritis

Gastroesophageal reflux disease

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) is a chronic upper gastrointestinal disease in which stomach content persistently and regularly flows up into the esophagus, resulting in symptoms and/or complications.

See Mosapride and Gastroesophageal reflux disease

Gastrointestinal physiology

Gastrointestinal physiology is the branch of human physiology that addresses the physical function of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.

See Mosapride and Gastrointestinal physiology

HERG

hERG (the human Ether-à-go-go-Related Gene) is a gene that codes for a protein known as Kv11.1, the alpha subunit of a potassium ion channel.

See Mosapride and HERG

Irritable bowel syndrome

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional gastrointestinal disorder characterized by a group of symptoms that commonly include abdominal pain, abdominal bloating and changes in the consistency of bowel movements.

See Mosapride and Irritable bowel syndrome

Malaise

In medicine, malaise is a feeling of general discomfort, uneasiness or lack of wellbeing and often the first sign of an infection or other disease.

See Mosapride and Malaise

Neurogenesis

Neurogenesis is the process by which nervous system cells, the neurons, are produced by neural stem cells (NSCs). This occurs in all species of animals except the porifera (sponges) and placozoans. Types of NSCs include neuroepithelial cells (NECs), radial glial cells (RGCs), basal progenitors (BPs), intermediate neuronal precursors (INPs), subventricular zone astrocytes, and subgranular zone radial astrocytes, among others.

See Mosapride and Neurogenesis

Prokinetic agent

A prokinetic agent (also prokineticin, gastroprokinetic agent, gastrokinetic agent or propulsive) is a type of small peptide drug which enhances gastrointestinal motility by increasing the frequency or strength of contractions, but without disrupting their rhythm. Mosapride and prokinetic agent are motility stimulants.

See Mosapride and Prokinetic agent

5-HT3 receptor

The 5-HT3 receptor belongs to the Cys-loop superfamily of ligand-gated ion channels (LGICs) and therefore differs structurally and functionally from all other 5-HT receptors (5-hydroxytryptamine, or serotonin receptors) which are G protein-coupled receptors.

See Mosapride and 5-HT3 receptor

5-HT4 receptor

5-Hydroxytryptamine receptor 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HTR4 gene.

See Mosapride and 5-HT4 receptor
