The effect of alternating infusions of ghrelin on the interval between the activity fronts of fasting small bowel motility. Infusions of saline or ghrelin (1000 pmol kg−1 min−1) were administered at 15 μ min−1 for alternating 60 min periods over 6 h. Results are given as means and s.e.m. (vertical lines); comparisons were made between the changes measured during saline or ghrelin infusions during each of the 3 h periods of infusion (*P<0.05; n=6 each).
