Gastrin effects: See: http://www.mayomedicallaboratories.com/test-catalog/Clinical+and+Interpretive/8512. "Gastrin stimulates gastric motility..."; thus would speed emptying.

No: Hypergastrinemia (high gastrin levels) will increase the amount of acid produced by the stomach, but does not affect the gastric motility.
