Values are means ± SEM. n = 4.

a

P < 0.05;

b

P < 0.01;

c

P < 0.001, significant difference from control or lidocaine + carbachol respectively; paired Student's t-test (lidocaine + carbachol vs. control) and one-way ANOVA, followed by Bonferroni's multiple comparison test (NaHS vs. Lidocaine + carbachol).

*

Distance in which ripples were observed from the proximal edge of the colon.
