As stress may be involved in the generation of functional dyspeptic symptoms, we evaluated the effect of the stress hormone, corticotropin-releasing hormone, on proximal stomach function. Twelve healthy volunteers [six women; 23 years (20-26 years)] underwent a barostat study on 2 days. During the infusion of corticotropin-releasing hormone (2.3 microg/kg/h) or saline, a stepwise distension protocol was performed followed by ingestion of a liquid meal (Nutridrink, 200 ml, 300 kcal).
