[Measurement of changes in parietal tonus of the abomasum in sheep].
An inflatable bag of 250 ml at the pressure of 2 mm Hg inside the abomasal lumen was used to identify the abomasal smooth muscle tone. Reduced tone of the ovine abomasum was assessed, like for the fundic part of the canine stomach, in relation with the cyclic motor activity of the proximal duodenum. Opposite effects were obtained following parasympathomimetic drug injection versus peptides of the gastrin group, suggesting a high responsiveness of the abomasal smooth muscle tone to both neural and hormonal influences.
