Model for indomethacin-induced inhibition of small intestinal smooth muscle contractility. Indomethacin causes mucosal damage, which initiates a feedback loop involving inflammatory damage to smooth muscle layers, which decreases intestinal smooth muscle contractility. The decreased intestinal contractility enhances the bacterial overgrowth and translocation initiated by the damaged mucosa.
