Abstract in brief

  • The migrating motor complex (MMC) is a rhythmic pattern of contractions in the upper gastrointestinal tract during fasting, with Phase III being the most active, and is traditionally viewed as a "housekeeper" that clears out the gut.
  • The discovery of the hormone motilin in 1973 helped to explain how the MMC is regulated, as motilin levels rise and fall with the phases of the MMC, especially inducing the active Phase III contractions.
  • Recent research suggests that these motilin-driven movements signal hunger in healthy individuals and that disruptions in this system may be linked to obesity, indicating a potential role of the MMC and motilin in hunger regulation.
