Predictably hyoscine delayed, and bethanechol increased, the rate of gastric emptying. Pentagastrin initially produced marked antral activity resulting in a physiological stricture and subsequent delay in the overall rate of gastric emptying. Fundal motility was unaffected though reflux from the antrum occurred.}, issn = {0017-5749}, URL = {https://gut.bmj.com/content/17/4/273}, eprint = {https://gut.bmj.com/content/17/4/273.full.pdf}, journal = {Gut} }
