Migrating motor complex, also known as migrating myoelectric complex, migratory motor complex, migratory myoelectric complex and MMC, is a cyclic, recurring motility pattern that occurs in the stomach and small bowel during fasting; it is interrupted by feeding. [1]

The migrating motor complex (MMC), often called the “housekeeper” of our gut, can get a little noisy as it cleans up our digestive tract in between meals. In this article, we dive into: How the MMC works; What conditions can disrupt the MMC; How dysfunction of the migrating motor complex is relevant to small intestinal bacterial overgrowth ...

2012年3月27日 · The migrating motor complex (MMC) is a cyclic, recurring motility pattern that occurs in the stomach and small bowel during fasting; it is interrupted by feeding. The MMC is present in the gastrointestinal tract of many species, including humans.

The migrating motor complex (MMC) is a system of electrical waves that “migrate” throughout the small intestine, serving to propel luminal contents all the way from the stomach to the terminal ileum over a period of 113 to 230 minutes, depending on the individual.

Migrating motor complex (MMC) is well characterized by the appearance of gastrointestinal (GI) contractions in the interdigestive state. The physiological importance of gastric MMC is a mechanical and chemical cleansing of the empty stomach in preparation for the next meal.

Motilin regulates the migrating motor complex. When your body releases motilin, it activates the MMC. The MMC: Transports undigested food from your small to your large intestine. Moves bacteria from your small intestine to your large intestine to prevent bacteria overgrowth.

The migrating motor complex is a distinct pattern of electromechanical activity observed in gastrointestinal smooth muscle during the periods between meals. It is thought to serve a "housekeeping" role and sweep residual undigested material through the digestive tube.

2022年9月26日 · Motilin stimulates gastric and small intestine motility, causing undigested food in these regions to move into the large intestine. This movement is also known as the migrating motor complex (MMC) or the interdigestive myoelectric complex.
