The Effect of Sham Feeding on Neurocardiac Regulation in Healthy Human Volunteers
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Distension and electrical stimuli in the esophagus alter heart rate variability (HRV) consistent with activation of vagal afferent and efferent pathways. Sham feeding stimulates gastric acid secretion by means of vagal efferent pathways. It is not known, however, whether activation of vagal efferent pathways is organ- or stimulus-specific.
OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that sham feeding increases the high frequency (HF) …
