IPPW, isolated pyloric pressure waves; iv, intravenous.

Mean (SEM) of actual values and of values over basal (pyloric tone) during each 60 minute perfusion period. Values for pressure waves and motility indices represent the sum of two antral and three duodenal side holes, respectively (n = 9).

Differences were compared using two way repeated measures ANOVA employing individual incremental or decremental values during the respective periods.

*p<0.05 versus saline iv.
