Our aim was to determine the roles of extrinsic and intrinsic (enteric) neural continuity to the
jejunoileum in control of postprandial and fasting motility patterns. Four groups of dogs were …

Our aim was to determine the mechanism whereby the jejunoileum regulates postprandial
gastroduodenal motility. Five dogs were prepared with a proximal jejunal infusion catheter …

Ingestion of a meal converts the fasting motor pattern, the migrating motor complex (MMC),
to a fed pattern of motility. The role of specific anatomic gut regions involved in these …

Our aim was to determine whether the passage of postprandial duodenal chyme into the
jejunum activates jejunal feedback mechanisms that inhibit the interdigestive myoelectric …

We investigated vagal control of the migrating myoelectric complex (MMC) and postprandial
pattern of the canine small intestine. Gastric and small intestinal motility were monitored in …

This study was designed to determine the role of extrinsic gastric innervation in mediating
the inhibitory effects of jejunal infusion of mixed nutrients on canine interdigestive gastric …

Our aim was to determine the effect of in situ neural isolation of the jejunoileum (extrinsic
denervation and disruption of enteric neural continuity with the duodenum) on the spread of …

Factors regulating the conversion of the interdigestive migrating motor complex (MMC) to
postprandial patterns of motility are not completely understood. This study assessed the …

Our aim was to determine the role of the extrinsic and intrinsic nerves in the regulation of the
small intestinal interdigestive myoelectric complex (IMC). In five dogs, the extrinsic nerves of …

The effects of intestinal transplantation on enteric physiology have not been well studied.
Our aim was to determine the effect of jejunoileal transplantation on patterns of small …
