Motor Dysfunction of the Small Bowel and Colon in Patients with the Carcinoid Syndrome and Diarrhea
Abstract

Possible causes include tumor production of neurohumoral substances, such as serotonin and substance P, which stimulate small-bowel and colonic motility, and intestinal abnormalities, such as lymphangiectasia and bacterial overgrowth.
