Core Tip Gastroesophageal reflux disease is characterised by the retrograde flow of gastroduodenal contents into the oesophagus. Although its pathophysiology is not fully understood, it is recognised to evolve into different forms of varying severity, including Barrett’s oesophagus and oesophageal adenocarcinoma. Impaired oesophageal motility, often characterised as hypomotility, is a primary factor contributing to the disease’s development. Studies suggest that the liver-synthesized bile salts, which are duodenal components found in the reflux material, may be directly involved in this dysfunction. Therefore, more in-depth investigations are needed to fully understand gastroesophageal reflux disease’s pathophysiology and the influence of bile salts on oesophageal dysmotility, as well as potential signalling pathways.
