title: Effect of some gastrointestinal hormones on antral, small intestinal and caecal myoelectrical activity in the conscious miniature pig.
abstract: The effect of i.v. infusion of gastrin (CCK-4), cholecystokinin (CCK-8) and pancreatic polypeptide (PP), 20 and 200 ng/kg/min for 1 h, on gastrointestinal electrical activity and arterial pressure was studied in conscious miniature pigs. During infusion of CCK-8 a transient hypertension was observed. In the antrum, the 3 peptides provoked an increase in slow wave activity and a decrease in spike activity. In the intestine, CCK-8 induced an increase in ileal spiking activity, whereas infusion of PP resulted in an increased frequency of long spike bursts in the caecum.
