Figure 2.
Electrical field stimulation (EFS)-induced response of proximal gastric circular muscle strips after serial administration of atropine, MRS2500, N-nitro-L-arginine (L-NNA), and tetrodotoxin (TTX). (a) Atropine decreased the peak and MRS2500 increased the peak in the control subjects. (b) Atropine decreased the peak in diabetic patients. (c) Atropine increased the nadir and L-NNA abolished relaxation in the control subjects. (d) Also in the diabetic patients, L-NNA decreased the nadir with marginal statistical significance (p = 0.080). The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to evaluate the effects of each drug by compare values to the previous one.
