Figure 5.

Illustration of gastric dysrhythmias induced by intravenous Vasopressin. Top 4 channels are gastric myoelectrical activities recorded using serosal electrodes implanted along the greater curvature. The bottom tracing shows gastric contractions measured from a strain gauge implanted in the distal stomach parallel to Channel 4. It was noticed that gastric muscle contractions were absent during periods of tachygastria and bradygastria.
