The effect of the prokinetic agents on the amplitude and freqency of gastric and duodenal electromyologram in the SD rats was compared. The antagonists such as atropine, phentolamine, and propranolol were added to investigate the mechanism of action with all prokinetic agents.Results All prokinetic agents increased the amplitude and frequency of gastric and duodenal fast waves in the SD rats(P<0.05). The effect of itopride was the most obvious among the 3 groups (P<0.05),and clarithromycin had the weakest effect(P<0.05). The amplitude and frequency of gastric and duodenal fast waves in the SD rats in the groups of clarithromycin,domperidone,mosapride, itopride, and physiological saline were inhibited by atropine(P<0.05),but not by phentolamine and propranolol.Conclusion Itopride, mosapride, domperidone, and clarithromycin can increase the amplitude and frequency of gastric and duodenal fast waves in the SD rats. The mechanism may be related to cholinergic receptors, but not adrenergic receptors. | | Language | chi | | Pub Type(s) | English Abstract
