Figure 2.
Relationship between the end point of the satiety drinking test and the size of meal induced accommodation, determined by gastric barostat in healthy controls (n=25) and in patients with functional dyspepsia (n=37). A significant correlation between both measurements was found (r=0.76, p<0.001). In patients, maximum satiety occurred at significantly lower caloric intake compared with healthy subjects (542 (50) v 1508 (53) kcal; p<0.0001).
