Effects of l-Glu microinjected into SON on gastric motility (n = 7)

	Before stimulus	After stimulus	Inhibitory rate (%)
Frequency	9.2 ± 3.8	7.7 ± 2.7	16.3
Total amplitude (mmHg)	103.1 ± 42.6	88.1 ± 41.3*	14.5
Total duration (s)	137.9 ± 61.7	120.1 ± 48.1	12.4
Motility index	1482.1 ± 708.2	1185.5 ± 639.2*	18.4 ± 15.5

Values presented are mean ± SD. The gastric motility frequency and total duration decreased slightly, but the total amplitude and motility index decreased significantly
