[The mechanism of the duodenal motility strengthening under psychogenic stress in rabbits].
In experiments on unanaesthetized rabbits, myoelectric activity (contractile activity index) of two sites of duodenum and of antral and pyloric parts of the stomach was studied under stress induced by fastening a rabbit to a table in supine position. In both sites of duodenum, the stress impact induced a short-time inhibition of contractile activity which was followed by its strengthening that exceeded the initial level. Meanwhile in antrum and pylorus, the whole period of stress impact was characterized by suppression of contractile activity, the latter being more pronounced in the antrum. The strengthening of the duodenal contractile activity was preserved after muscarinic ornicotinic cholinoceptor blockade. It was concluded that the contractile response of duodenum seemed to be of humoral origin.
