Calorically denser infant formulas inhibit intestinal motor feeding responses in preterm infants. Motilin receptors are functionally present in preterm and term human neonates. Motor activity responses to bolus feeding differ in preterm and term infants. Gastrointestinal motor responses to erythromycin are dose dependent in term neonates. Prokinetic effects of erythromycin in preterm and term infants are related to gestational age.
Inflammation modulates the colonic contractile response to muscarinic receptor activation.
