Table 7.
Effects of meal volume and caloric load on the half-emptying time of gastric contents (Reproduced from reference 71.). Data and standard error between any 2 volumes (in parenthesis) were estimated from mixed-effects model. The standard errors for differences between 2 volumes are given in parenthesis71.
| Meal Volume (mL) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Caloric load (kcal) | 200 | 400 | 600 | 800 |
| 200 | 56 (7) | 41 (8) | 42 (8) | 38 (8)a |
| 300 | 74 (7)+ | 59 (8)b | 60 (8)b | 56 (8)a,b |
| 400 | 92 (7)+ | 77 (8)b | 78 (8) | 74 (8)a,b |
