The presented study was designed to elucidate whether the cholinergic mechanisms control ovine antral slow waves in various physiological conditions, including feeding and various phases of migrating myoelectric complex (MMC). The investigations were carried out on six adult sheep of Polish Merino breed with seven bipolar electrodes surgically implanted onto the antral and small intestinal wall. In the course of chronic experiments, the myoelectric activity was recorded from these regions using the multichannel electroencephalograph. Experiments were performed on 48 h fasted and non-fasted animals. During some of these experiments, sheep were fed with standard fodder. During control experiments 0.15 M NaCl was slowly administered i.v. through the indwelling catheter and during other experiment, hexamethonium bromide (2.0 and 5.0 mg/kg). atropine sulfate (0.02; 0.1; 0.5 and 1.5 mg/kg) and pirenzepine dihydrochloride (0.02; 0.5 and 2.0 mg/kg) were administered i.v. during phase 1-2a or 2b MMC. The drugs were also given in combinations. The recordings were analysed and the antral slow wave amplitudes and frequencies were calculated. Unlike the slow wave amplitude, either feeding or the anticholinergic drugs significantly increased slow wave frequency, especially when the given procedure was started during phase 2b MMC. The most pronounced effects were observed after hexamethonium given alone or in combinations. Thus, the cholinergic system modulates antral slow wave frequency in sheep.  相似文献

There are no precise data concerning the effect of cerulein on the small-intestinal migrating motor complex (MMC) in sheep. Thus, the effort was directed towards the elucidation of the role of cerulein, a cholecystokinin (CCK) amphibian analogue, in the regulation of MMC cycle in conscious fasted and non-fasted sheep in various regions of the small intestine. In six sheep, equipped with bipolar electrodes in the entire small intestine and with one duodenal strain gauge force transducer in four of these animals, the continuous myoelectric and motor activity recordings were performed. During control period, two normal consecutive MMC cycles were recorded in fasted and non-fasted animals and then cerulein was slowly injected at the dose 1 (during 30 s), 10 (during 30 s or 60 s) or 100 ng/kg (during 30 s, 60 s or 120 s) or infused at the dose 0.5 or 1.5 ng/kg/min during 60 min. After cerulein administration at least two consecutive MMC cycles were also recorded. It was found that cerulein in moderate and higher doses injected in both fasted and non-fasted animals, especially during phase 2a or 2b MMC, inhibited phase 3 in the duodenum in at least one-third of the experiments and significantly increased the MMC cycle duration. The application of 100 ng/kg of cerulein during 120 s in the course of phase 2b MMC prolonged cycle duration from 70 +/- 21 to 113 +/- 19 min (p < 0.05) or from 51 +/- 18 to 113 +/- 19 min (p < 0.01) in fasted and non-fasted sheep respectively. The first phase 3 MMC arriving after cerulein administration at the highest dose was usually abnormal in approximately 60% of the experiments. The second phase 3 observed following the hormone injection was abnormal much less frequently and to the lesser extent. Furthermore, both cerulein doses significantly shortened the duration of phase 3 MMC either in fasted (from approximately 5.5-6.5 cpm to 4-5 cpm) or in non-fasted sheep (from approximately 4.5-5.5 to 3-4.5 cpm). The effects of cerulein exhibited the dose-response character. They were more pronounced when cerulein was injected during phase 2b or 2a MMC when compared with phase 1 MMC. The effects of cerulein on the ileal MMC were less evident, although the inhibition of the ileal phase 3 in response to both higher injected doses was observed occasionally. Infusions of cerulein in non-fasted sheep exerted similar effects as cerulein injections. It was stated that cerulein exerts marked regulatory effect upon the small-intestinal MMC in sheep. Although it remains uncertain whether the efficient doses of cerulein used in the present study correspond to physiological or pharmacological doses of CCK it seems likely that most of these doses were physiological. Thus, it is concluded that cerulein participates in the control of MMC cycles in the digestive and interdigestive states in sheep. It is possible that CCK is a physiological regulator of the ovine small-intestinal MMC.  相似文献

Cholecystokinin exerts a composite influence on gastrointestinal motility but little is known about its effect on small-intestinal slow waves. Thus, six rams were implanted with four bipolar serosal electrodes onto the duodeno-jejunal wall. In the course of chronic experiments the myoelectric activity was continuously recorded in the non-fasted animals. After recording of the full normal migrating myoelectric complex (MMC), 0.15 M NaCl or CCK peptides were injected intravenously during various phases of the next MMC cycle. Five ml of saline was injected over 30 s during phases 1, 2a, or 2b of the MMC. Cerulein was administered at doses of 1 (over 30 s), 10 (over 30 or 60 s), or 100 ng/kg (over 30, 60, 120 or 300 s) and cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-OP) at doses 20 times higher. CCK peptides were applied during early or late phase 1 of the MMC and during phases 2a and 2b of the MMC. In the course of additional experiments, saline and hormone administration was directly preceded by infusion of proglumide, an unspecific CCK receptor antagonist, at a dose of 10 mg/kg. The myoelectric recordings were continued until the arrival of a subsequent regular phase 3 of the MMC. In the duodenal bulb, slow waves were occasionally observed. In the duodenum the slow-wave frequency oscillated between 20 and 24 cpm and in the jejunum between 19 and 22 cpm before or after CCK peptides and proglumide. In the duodenum the slow-wave amplitude increased significantly after all doses of cerulein injected during phase 2b of the MMC. After administration of CCK-OP changes in duodenal slow-wave amplitude were not significant but exhibited a tendency similar to those after cerulein. In the jejunum, injection of cerulein and CCK-OP during phase 2 of the MMC increased the slow-wave amplitude significantly and the duration of these changes was longer than in the duodenum. After infusion of proglumide, administration of cerulein at the low dose over 30 s and at the high dose over 300 s in the course of late phase 1 and phases 2a and 2b of the MMC, significantly increased the duodenal slow-wave amplitude. Cerulein injection during phase 2b of the MMC at the high dose over 30 and 60 s, preceded by proglumide infusion, significantly inhibited the duodenal slow-wave amplitude. In the jejunum these changes were even more pronounced and their duration was much longer. It is concluded that CCK peptides affect slow-wave amplitude in the duodeno-jejunum in non-fasted sheep. This effect is stronger in the jejunum and is altered but not abolished by pretreatment with proglumide. Cerulein evokes more pronounced alterations in the slow-wave amplitude than CCK-OP in conscious sheep.  相似文献

The changes in the frequency of abomasal slow waves and their propagation, the abomasal spike burst rate and the duodenal spike burst rate were assessed in sheep fed three diets containing either 100 per cent concentrate, 50 per cent concentrate and 50 per cent forage, or 100 per cent forage. The frequency of abomasal slow waves and spike burst frequency were both significantly reduced in sheep fed the diets high in concentrate when compared with animals fed the 100 per cent roughage diet. The velocity of propagation of the slow waves and the duodenal spike burst frequency were not significantly affected by the dietary composition. The sheep consumed significantly less of the 100 per cent concentrate diet in the 45 minutes before recording than of the other two diets, but the amount of feed consumed was not correlated significantly with the changes observed in the myoelectrical activity. These findings are consistent with an inhibitory effect of concentrate on abomasal motility.  相似文献

Eight adult conscious rams were used to characterize further the minute rhythm and to determine the role of cholinergic receptors in nervous control of this event. In chronic experiments, the myoelectrical and motor activity of the gastrointestinal tract and gallbladder were recorded. Physiological experiments were performed in fasted or non-fasted rams before, during and after feeding, and the occurrence of minute rhythm during various phases of the migrating motor myoelectric complex was observed. The pattern occurred most frequently in the small intestine, where it exhibited mostly the propagating character. It was also detectable in the ileum. In the gallbladder, the minute rhythm arrived systematically and its character was irregular, propagating, retropropagating or stationary. In all episodes observed, it was well correlated with that in the small intestine. In the pyloric antrum, the minute rhythm was identified occasionally. During pharmacological experiments, 0.15 M NaCl or graded doses of hexamethonium, atropine and pirenzepine were administered intravenously during various phases of the migrating motor myoelectric complex, in fasted and non-fasted animals, before and during feeding. The drugs inhibited the minute rhythm in the small bowel for a longer period than in the gallbladder. However, the smallest dose of pirenzepine (0.02 mg/kg) exerted a non-significant effect both in the small intestine and in the gallbladder. It is concluded, that in normal conditions the minute rhythm occurs regularly in the entire small intestine and in the gallbladder. In the small intestine the pattern is organized more precisely. The minute rhythm is controlled by nicotinic receptors and by muscarinic receptor subtypes.  相似文献

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the role of nitric oxide (NO) synthase isoforms (nNOS, eNOS, and iNOS) in the regulation of the migrating motor complex (MMC) in sheep using electromyography and their expression in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract by Western blot (WB) and immunohistochemistry. Intravenous administration of L-NAME or the nNOS inhibitor 7-nitroindazole (7-NI) decreased the MMC interval. Myoelectric activity of intestinal phase II was increased, whereas antral activity was reduced. These effects were blocked by L-arginine. Inhibitors of either iNOS (aminoguanidine and S-methylisothiourea) or eNOS (L-NIO) were ineffective. The NO donor sodium nitroprusside decreased GI myoelectric activity, inhibited the MMC pattern, and prevented the effects induced by L-NAME and 7-NI in the intestine. Intracerebroventricular administration of these agents did not modify GI motility. In the rumen, abomasal antrum, duodenum, and jejunum, WB showed three bands at about 155, 145, and 135kDa corresponding to nNOS, and a 140-kDa band (eNOS); however iNOS was not detected. Positive nNOS immunostaining was observed in neurons of the myenteric and submucous plexus of all GI tissues, while eNOS was found in the endothelial cells, ruminal and intestinal epithelium, as well as in some enteric neurons and in endocrine-like cells of the duodenal Brunner's glands. In contrast, only weak iNOS immunoreactivity was found in ruminal epithelium. Taken together, our results suggest that NO, synthesized at a peripheral level by nNOS, is tonically inhibiting the MMC pattern and intestinal motility in sheep.  相似文献

The myoelectric activity of the cecum and right ventral colon (RVC) was studied in 4 female ponies. Eight, bipolar Ag-AgCl electrodes were sequentially placed on the seromuscular layer of the cecum (6 electrodes) and RVC (2 electrodes), and recordings were begun 14 days after surgery. The myoelectric activity for each pony was recorded during 12, 60-minute recording sessions done during the interdigestive period (3 to 7 hours after the morning feeding). Coordinated series of spike bursts were recognized as independent motility patterns in the cecum and in the RVC. Local haustra-haustra myoelectric activity involving approximately 40 cm of the cecal body (0.45 +/- 0.03 spike bursts/min) were detected. A series of spike bursts started at the cecal apex and progressed to, but stopped at, the caudal cecal base (0.40 +/- 0.03 spike bursts/min). Infrequently, a series of spike bursts started at the apex and progressed to the cranial cecal base (0.09 +/- 0.01 spike bursts/min). More commonly, a series of spike bursts with a conduction velocity of 3.8 +/- 0.07 cm/s, began in the cranial base and progressed orally to the cecal apex (0.46 +/- 0.03 spike bursts/min). Spike bursts conducted aborally (propulsion) beginning at the origin of the RVC (0.05 +/- 0.007 spike bursts/min) and spike bursts conducted orally (retropulsion; 0.15 +/- 0.02 spike bursts/min) were seen independent of cecal myoelectric activity. A progressive series of coordinated spike bursts, which began at the cecal apex, were conducted through the cecolic orifice and continued into the RVC (0.42 +/- 0.02 spike bursts/min), representing the only pattern common to the cecum and RVC.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Five 5 to 6 month old horses were surgically prepared with silver electrodes sutured to the serosa of gastric antrum, duodenum and proximal portions of the jejunum. Normal migrating motility complex (MMC) periodicity was determined during daytime hours in horses that were fed and horses from which food was withheld for 24 hours. Periodicity was defined as time span from the end of one period of regular spike activity (RSA) to the end of the next RSA in the MMC. The periodicity was 120.5 +/- 9.5 (SEM) minutes in horses from which food was withheld, and was 125.7 +/- 20.3 minutes in horses fed hay free choice. Coincident with each duodenal RSA, antral spike activity ceased. Xylazine (0.25 and 0.5 mg/kg), given IV during the period of intermittent spike activity of the MMC to either fed or unfed horses induced, within 2 minutes, a RSA complex in the duodenum that migrated to the proximal portion of the jejunum. This was followed by a period of no spike activity of normal duration, which proceeded on to a period of intermittent spike activity of varying duration to complete the MMC cycle. Pretreatment IV administration of an alpha 2-adrenergic antagonist, tolazoline (1 mg/kg) also provoked a RSA complex, but blocked the xylazine effect. The results indicated that xylazine resets the duodenal MMC in the horse, but does not seriously disrupt proximal gastrointestinal tract motility, and that control of MMC periodicity in this region probably involves more than alpha 2-adrenergic receptors.  相似文献

The study was conducted to investigate a possible mechanism behind earlier observations of fasting-induced increases of blood concentrations of prostaglandin (PG) F2alpha metabolite (P-PG) in gilts. Six animals were fasted for 28 h, then administered i.v. PGF2alpha (500 ng/kg body weight). Blood samples were withdrawn at 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 60 min, 2 and 3 h after the injection. A control group followed an identical protocol, except that they were fed during the corresponding 28 h-period. P-PG increased as previously observed during the 28 h of fasting. The P-PG increase in terms of area under the concentration time curve (AUC) following injection was significantly larger in the fasted than in the non-fasted gilts. In the fasted animals, the mean P-PG maximum concentration (Cmax) was 7145 pmol/L, the corresponding value for the non-fasted animals was 4566 pmol/L. PGs are metabolised through beta-oxidation in the liver. The results of this study imply that reduced 15-ketodihydro-PGF2alpha breakdown in the liver might contribute to the fasting-induced increases in P-PG.  相似文献

The influence of dietary restriction on the negative feedback potency of 17-beta-estradiol (E2) was evaluated in both castrated male (wethers) and female sheep (OVX ewes) during the breeding season. In study 1, OVX ewes received maintenance or restricted dietary energy for 7 weeks or maintenance energy for 6 weeks prior to a 5 day fast (n=12ewes/feeding group). Estradiol (0.31microg E2/50kg/h) or vehicle (10% EtOH-saline) was continuously infused into half the animals in each dietary treatment for the final 54h of the study. The dynamic pattern of LH secretion was assessed during the final 6h of infusion. Estradiol inhibited luteinizing hormone (LH) pulse amplitude independent of nutrition (P=0.02); fasting increased mean LH, LH peak height, and LH nadir in the absence of E2 (P=0.004, P=0.02, and P=0.02, respectively); while E2 inhibited pulse frequency (P=0.02) and increased peak width (P=0.04) in restricted ewes. Interestingly, despite uniform E2 delivery, serum concentrations of E2 differed with feeding status. Therefore, 12 wethers were infused with 0.31microg E2/50kg/h (6 fed, 6 fasted) and six wethers received 0.19microg E2/50kg/h (fasted) to establish similar serum concentrations of E2 in fed (0.31microg/50kg/h) and fasted (0.19microg/50kg/h) wethers. When fed and fasted wethers had uniform serum concentrations of E2 LH pulse frequency was suppressed (P<0.05) in fasted relative to fed animals, supporting the postulate that energy restriction enhances the E2 negative feedback potency. Collectively, these studies demonstrate that nutrition affects E2 feedback potency and clearance.  相似文献

The changes induced in the electrical activity of the small intestine by atropine sulphate, diphemanil methylsulphate, hyoscine butylbromide and prifinium bromide were studied in conscious sheep fitted with chronically implanted electrodes. Increased spike potential activity was induced by carbachol. The mean slow-wave frequency of the antrum was 7.35 ± 0.18/min with burst of spike potentials randomly superimposed on about 63% of the slow waves. The occurrence of the spike bursts was inhibited for 18—30 min after an intravenous injection of atropine (0.75 mg/kg) and during its infusion at the rate of 0.05 mg/kg/min. The activity of the proximal part of the small intestine, which is characterized by migrating myoelectric complexes moving down slowly at hourly intervals, was replaced by irregular series consisting of spike bursts of about 3 min duration, at intervals of about 12 min for a total of 110 min. Such an effect, in which the level of spike activity was reduced, was also observed with hyoscine, diphemanil and prifinium during 80, 120 and 180 min periods respectively. The injection of carbachol was followed by continuous spike activity in which the mean spike level was nearly doubled, as occurs at the onset of diarrhoea. An inhibitory effect was observed at both antral and duodeno-jejunal levels with the four drugs used, that of hyoscine being least marked. The effect of prifinium was more pronounced than that of atropine or diphemanil, especially on the jejunum. The results suggest that the ability of these drugs to reduce the level of spike activity accompanying disruption of migrating myoelectric complexes and to inhibit the carbachol-induced increased level of spiking may account for the antispasmodic effects observed after the use of anticholinergic drugs in gastrointestinal disorders. Prifinium had the longest lasting effect at both antral and duodeno-jejunal levels and seemed to be a good atropine substitute to alleviate gastro-intestinal hypermotility.  相似文献

The influence of fasting on the bioavailability and disposition kinetics of albendazole (ABZ) and its metabolites in cattle was investigated. ABZ (10 mg/kg) was given by intraruminal (i.r.) (Experiment 1) and intravenous (i.v.) (Experiment 2) administration to Holstein calves either fed ad libitum (control) or subjected to a 48 h fasting period (fasted group) prior to treatment. The rate of passage of digesta through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract was evaluated by measurement of cobalt faecal excretion following the oral administration of the sodium-cobalt-ethylendiamine-tetracetic acid complex to calves subjected to the feeding conditions above described. Jugular blood and abomasal fluid (via cannula) samples were collected over 120 h post-treatment; samples were analysed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for ABZ, ABZ sulphoxide (ABZSO) and ABZ sulphone (ABZSO2). Fasting the animals prior to the i.r. treatment resulted in pronounced modifications to the plasma and abomasal fluid disposition kinetics of ABZ and its metabolites. A greater extent of GI absorption with significantly higher Cmax (150%) and AUC (310%) values for ABZSO in plasma, was observed in fasted compared to fed animals following the i.r. administration of ABZ. Extended detection of ABZ metabolites resulting in significantly longer plasma t½el and MRT was also obtained in fasted compared to fed calves. These results correlated with the substantially enhanced availability of ABZ and its metabolites (AUCs over 200% greater) in the abomasal fluid of the fasted animals. Fasting did not induce changes to the plasma disposition of either ABZ or its metabolites after the i.v. treatment. The digesta passage rate, measured by the amount of cobalt excreted in faeces, was significantly lower in fasted compared to animals fed ad libitum. A delayed GI transit time that decreases the rate of passage of the drug down the digestive tract, may have accounted for enhanced ABZ dissolution and absorption in fasted compared to fed calves. The findings reported in this article show that fasting prior to treatment notably affects the bioavailability and disposition kinetics of ABZ and its metabolites in cattle.  相似文献

Postoperative ileus is characterized by decreased gastrointestinal myoelectric activity and motility. Metoclopramide was used to treat experimentally induced postoperative ileus in six dogs. Contractile activity was monitored by extraluminal strain gages on the pyloric antrum and proximal segment of the duodenum, and myoelectric activity was measured by recording bipolar electromyograms (EMGs) at the pyloric antrum, pyloric canal, proximal segment of the duodenum, proximal and distal parts of the jejunum, and ileum. Measurements were obtained from animals without ileus (baseline) and those with ileus that were either untreated or treated with metoclopramide. Adynamic ileus was induced by rubbing a 50 cm segment of jejunum with a dry sponge for 5 minutes and exposing the bowel to the air for 30 minutes. Treated dogs received metoclopramide (0.4 mg/kg 4 times daily [QID] intravenously [IV]), whereas untreated dogs received a saline placebo, starting 1 hour after celiotomy closure. Recordings were made for 26 hours after induction of ileus. The phases of the migrating myoelectric complex (MMC) were identified and motility index values were determined. During ileus, the MMC phase II duration was increased at the duodenum and phase III duration was decreased at the antrum, pylorus, duodenum, and proximal segment of the jejunum (p less than 0.05). Motility index values were decreased at the antrum and duodenum during ileus (p less than 0.05). Treatment with metoclopramide reversed the MMC phase III inhibition at the antrum and pylorus, and partially reversed the inhibition at the duodenum and jejunum (p less than 0.05). Motility index values were restored to preoperative baseline values with metoclopramide treatment (p less than 0.05).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Myoelectric activity of the ileum, cecum, and right ventral colon (RVC) was studied in 4 mature ponies. Eight Ag-AgCl bipolar recording electrodes were sutured to the seromuscular layer of the ileum (2 electrodes), cecum (4 electrodes), and RVC (2 electrodes). Myoelectric activity was studied beginning 10 days after surgery. Eight, 60-minute recording sessions were performed in each pony during the interdigestive period, which was the period 3 to 7 hours after the morning feeding. On separate days, food was withheld for 24 hours, and 90-minute recordings were obtained during the nonfeeding period. Ponies were then fed a normal ration, and recordings were continued to obtain data for the digestive (feeding) period. All phases of the migrating myoelectric complex were seen at both ileal electrodes during the interdigestive period, including the periods of no spiking activity (phase 1), irregular spiking activity (phase 2), and regular spiking activity (phase 3). Phase 2 occupied 77% of the total recording time, and the mean duration of phases 1, 2, and 3 was 3.4 +/- 0.2, 12.8 +/- 1.2, and 6.7 +/- 0.7 min, respectively. Frequency of ileal slow waves was 11.8 +/- 0.1/min, and spike burst conduction velocity was 4.7 +/- 0.3 cm/s. A complete migrating myoelectric complex was seen in 11 of 32 tracings (34%) and had a mean duration of 24.2 +/- 2.6 min. The ileal migrating action potential complex, most often seen in phase 2, had a frequency of 4.8 +/- 0.5 spike bursts/h and a conduction velocity of 13.6 +/- 0.4 cm/s.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

This experiment was conducted to investigate the difference between ruminal (solid feed, SF) and abomasal (liquid feed, LF) feeding on the plasma leptin concentration in sheep. The experiment consisted of 2 weeks to adapt the animals to SF, 4 weeks of feeding on SF, 2 weeks adaptation to LF, 8 weeks of feeding on LF, 2 weeks of adaptation to SF, and 4 weeks of feeding on SF. The LF directory flowed into the abomasums of sheep by bottle feeding. Plasma leptin concentration before morning feeding was almost constant in the SF periods, whereas it showed between‐day variations when measured during the LF periods. Mean plasma leptin levels were higher for LF (7.77 ± 0.76 ng/mL; mean ± SE) than for SF periods (3.95 ± 0.16 ng/mL; mean ± SE). Although plasma leptin concentration did not show any change after feeding in the SF and LF periods, plasma insulin and glucose levels increased within 15 min after liquid abomasal feeding, but not after solid ruminal feeding. The high plasma leptin concentration during the LF periods in weaned sheep could be due to change of digestible energy intake and changes in plasma insulin and glucose levels accompanying the changes in digestive processes and nutrient supply.  相似文献

Vagally-mediated regulation of motility in the abomasal body by duodenal and abomasal antral motility was demonstrated in acutely prepared anaesthetized sheep. The enteric plexuses between the abomasal body, antrum and duodenum were interrupted by transection. Antral contractions were more effective than duodenal contractions at causing inhibition of the abomasal body, and antral isometric conditions were more effective than antral isotonic conditions. Inhibition of motility in the abomasal body was reduced by unilateral cervical vagotomy, was abolished by bilateral cervical vagotomy, and was reversibly inhibited by cervical vagus cold block. The demonstration of vagal pathways in abomaso-abomasal reflexes confirms a functional homology of the mechanisms in the ruminant and animals with simple forms of stomach.Abbreviations b-t balloon-tipped - EMG electromyography - NANC non-adrenergic, non-cholinergic - o-t open-tipped  相似文献

The objective of the study was to analyze glucose metabolism and abomasal myoelectrical activity during an intravenous glucose tolerance test in cows operated for LDA. Three dairy cows, at the onset of lactation, suffering from left displaced abomasum were selected from the animals presented at the clinic. During surgical therapy, one pair of electrodes was placed in the smooth muscle of the abomasal body, the pars pylorica and the duodenum respectively. The animals were subjected to electromyography on five occasions during hospital admittance (Days 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7 post-operative); their insulin, glucagon, glucose, beta-hydroxybutyrate and NEFA levels were then measured. Two days after surgery, the animals were subjected to an intravenous glucose load (300 g glucose in 30 min) during abomaso-duodenal electromyography. The findings indicate that the three animals had glucose metabolism disorders during hospitalization. The abomaso-duodenal myoelectric activity of Cows 1 and 3 was lower than in Cow 2. During the glucose load, the analysis of hormones and metabolites showed that there were different degrees of reactivity and that myoelectric activity differed in the 3 cows. The results of the study suggest that despite the surgical reposition of the abomasum, disorders of abomasal motility persist in different degrees in cows operated for LDA and could be influenced by glucose administrations.  相似文献

The relationship between duodenal myoelectric activity and liquid food intake was investigated in eight conscious piglets with bipolar electrodes implanted on the wall of the duodenum. Piglets were fed with commercial milk formula and the effects of volume and feed dry matter intake on duodenal myoelectric activity were measured by means of an analog–digital recording system.The cyclic pattern of duodenal myoelectric activity, i.e. the migrating myoelectric complex (MMC), was preserved when piglets received small meals at regular intervals. The duration of the whole MMC cycle, as well as the duration of phase II of the MMC, were only weakly correlated (r = 0.2, P < 0.05 for both parameters, respectively) to the amount of ingested food. However, the increase of the amount of feed dry matter intake of a meal from 2.1 to 4.5 g kg− 1 of live body mass (LBM) as well as an increase of volume of a meal from 13 to 26 ml kg− 1 LBM significantly increased the duration of the MMC cycles (P < 0.05) due to the elongation of phase II of the MMC (P < 0.05).The present study shows that in piglets fed with a liquid diet the upper gut motility response to food is similar to that previously observed in adult animals.  相似文献

The objective of the present study was to elucidate the effect of subclinical doses of Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin (LT) on the antro-duodenal myoelectric activities of weaned pigs. Twelve weaned pigs were surgically implanted with three pairs of electrodes on the antrum 3 cm before the pylorus, 5 and 20 cm after the pylorus on the duodenum, respectively. An infusion cannula was inserted into the duodenum between duodenal electrodes. Using a wireless telemetry recording system, an electromyography (EMG) tracing lasting at least 24 h was recorded as the control, then another 24-h EMG recording was performed with a bolus intraduodenal infusion of LT (0.1 and 0.5 microg/kg b.w.). After a 1- to 2-day break, a 5-fold higher dose of LT was administered using the same protocol. In the antrum, LT administration barely modified the EMG signal. However, in the duodenum it prolonged the duration of phase II and the migrating myoelectric complex (MMC) cycle when compared with the control. The number of duodenal MMC cycles was also significantly diminished. Moreover, the migrating velocity of phase III was increased. The migrating action potential complex (MAPC) was present both without and with LT, but occurred more frequently following LT administration. In conclusion, LT caused a dose-dependent, lagged alteration in the duodenal MMC in weaned pigs, involving a reduction of the MMC number by lengthening phase II, increased phase III migration velocity, and increased MAPC frequency. The disturbances did not, however, result in diarrhoea and may reflect the induction of a local protection mechanism of the gut to expel unwanted foreign content from the lumen of the upper gut.  相似文献

Lifschitz, A., Virkel G., Mastromarino, M. and Lanusse C., 1997. Enhanced plasma availability of the metabolites of albendazole in fasted adult sheep. Veterinary Research Communications, 21 (3), 201-211The influence of fasting prior to treatment and of dosing rate on the plasma availability and disposition kinetics of albendazole (ABZ) and its sulphoxide (ABZSO) and sulphone (ABZSO2) metabolites was studied in adult sheep grazing on pasture. A micronized suspension of ABZ was administered orally at either 7.5 mg/kg (group A) or 11.3 mg/kg (group C) to sheep fed ad libitum, and at 7.5 mg/kg to sheep subjected to a 24 h fasting period prior to treatment (group B). Blood samples were taken serially over 96 h after treatment, and the plasma was analysed for ABZ and its metabolites by high-performance liquid chromatography. ABZSO and ABZSO2 were recovered from the plasma. Fasting induced marked modifications in the pharmacokinetic behaviour of the ABZ metabolites in sheep. An extended absorption process, with a delayed peak concentration in the plasma, was observed for both metabolites in the fasted sheep. Significantly higher area under the curve (AUC) and peak plasma concentration (Cmax) values were obtained for both metabolites in the fasted animals compared to those fed ad libitum. Delayed elimination with prolonged detection in plasma was also observed in the fasted sheep. Treatment with ABZ at 7.5 mg/kg in the starved animals resulted in bioequivalence to the administration of the compound at a 50% higher dose rate (11.3 mg/kg) in the fed animals. It is suggested that fasting enhances ABZ dissolution and absorption by delaying its passage down the digestive tract.  相似文献
