Effect of physiological (low dose, 0.4 pmol/kg/min) and supraphysiological (high dose, 1.2 pmol/kg/min) doses of GLP-1 on antral and duodenal motility with intraduodenal perfusion of saline or lipid (2.5 kcal/min, 2.5 ml/min)

  • Mean (SEM) of actual values during each 60 minute infusion period. Values for contractions and motility indices represent the sum of two antral and three duodenal side holes, respectively; n=11.

  • For the same intraduodenal perfusion:

  • 2-150 p<0.05v saline iv;

  • 2-152 p<0.05v low dose GLP-1;

  • 2-153 p<0.05v high dose GLP-1. For different intraduodenal perfusions:

  • 2-151 p<0.05 v saline iv/intraduodenal saline;

  • 2-154 p<0.05 v low dose GLP-1/intraduodenal saline.
