title: [Effects of propranolol on the gastroduodenal myoelectrical activity].
abstract: The effects of propranolol on the myoelectrical activity of the stomach, pylorus and duodenum were investigated in chronic experiments on rabbits. During the first phase of propranolol action a positive gastro-chronotropic effect was accompanied by a negative cardio-chronotropic effect. The gastro-chronotropic effect was 3 times higher than cardio-chronotropic one. The second phase of the propranolol effect manifested with periodical fluctuation of the gastroduodenal myoelectrical activity during stable bradycardia. Marked reactivity of the gastro-duodenum and periodical fluctuation of its activity are evidence of vital importance of the autoregulation mechanisms for gastroduodenal myoelectric activity.
