Figure 3.
Interindividual variations in gastric emptying parameters (T1/2 and Tlag) in mice. T1/2 and Tlag were determined from the CO2 excretion curves in 36 mice after intraperitoneal injection of 0.9% NaCl 30 minutes before the start of the 14C octanoic breath test. Between mice the coefficient of variation (CV) was 32% for T1/2 and 41% for Tlag, with means of 77 minutes and 39 minutes, respectively.
