Origins of motility patterns in isolated arterially perfused rat intestine
Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS: Assessment of the neuromuscular control of small intestinal motility and movement of luminal contents is hampered in vivo by measurement techniques and in vitro by tissue viability. The aim of this study was to establish the structural and functional integrity of an isolated segment of rat ileum and characterize its motility.
METHODS: Segments of rat ileum were perfused arterially with oxygenated fluorocarbon and luminally with …
