Ghrelin and motilin are the hormones that increase gastric emptying. Gastric emptying is the process by which the contents of your stomach are moved into the duodenum, which is the first part of the small intestine.
| Hormone | Effect on Gastric Emptying |
|---|---|
| Ghrelin | Stimulates |
| Motilin | Stimulates |
In simpler terms, these hormones help speed up the movement of food from your stomach to your small intestine.
