Effects of bowel cleansing on the intestinal microbiota (2014)
Journal Article
Jalanka, J., Salonen, A., Salojärvi, J., Ritari, J., Immonen, O., Marciani, L., …de Vos, W. M. (2015). Effects of bowel cleansing on the intestinal microbiota. Gut, 64(10), 1562-1568. https://doi.org/10.1136/gutjnl-2014-307240

Objective: An adequate bowel cleansing is essential for a successful colonoscopy. Although purgative consumption is safe for the patient, there is little consensus on how the intestinal microbiota is affected by the procedure, especially regarding th...

Additive effects of gastric volumes and macronutrient composition on the sensation of postprandial fullness in humans (2014)
Journal Article
Marciani, L., Cox, E., Pritchard, S., Major, G., Hoad, C., Mellows, M., …Spiller, R. (2015). Additive effects of gastric volumes and macronutrient composition on the sensation of postprandial fullness in humans. European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 69(3), 380-384. https://doi.org/10.1038/ejcn.2014.194

Background/Objectives: Intake of food or fluid distends the stomach and triggers mechanoreceptors and vagal afferents. Wall stretch and tension produces a feeling of fullness. Duodenal infusion studies assessing gastric sensitivity by barostat have s...

Quantification of gastrointestinal liquid volumes and distribution following a 240 mL dose of water in the fasted state (2014)
Journal Article
Mudie, D. M., Murray, K., Hoad, C. L., Pritchard, S. E., Garnett, M. C., Amidon, G. L., …Marciani, L. (2014). Quantification of gastrointestinal liquid volumes and distribution following a 240 mL dose of water in the fasted state. Molecular Pharmaceutics, 11(9), 3039-3047. https://doi.org/10.1021/mp500210c

Previous imaging studies offered a snapshot of water distribution in fasted humans and showed that water in the small intestine is distributed in small pockets. This study aimed to quantify the volume and number of water pockets in the upper gut of f...

Journal Article
Murray, K., Wilkinson-Smith, V., Hoad, C., Costigan, C., Cox, E., Lam, C., …Spiller, R. C. (2014). Differential Effects of FODMAPs (Fermentable Oligo-, Di-, Mono-Saccharides and Polyols) on Small and Large Intestinal Contents in Healthy Subjects Shown by MRI. American Journal of Gastroenterology, 109(1), 110-119. https://doi.org/10.1038/ajg.2013.386

OBJECTIVES:The objective of this study was to investigate whether ingestion of fructose and fructans (such as inulin) can exacerbate irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms. The aim was to better understand the origin of these symptoms by magnetic re...
