title: Myoelectrical responses of pyloric antrum to GABAergic agents in conscious sheep.
abstract: The role of GABA receptors in the control of abomasal motility was examined electromyographically in four conscious ewes by injecting intracerebroventricularly and intravenously selective GABA(A)- and GABA(B)-receptor agonists and antagonists. The study indicated that the stimulation of the GABA(B) receptors results in an inhibition of the antral motility via central mechanisms.
