Ileum (STa) | Jejunum (NaCl) | |
Sham operated control | +3.3 (1.3) (n=5) | +1.1 (0.1) (n=5)* |
Vagotomised | +2.8 (0.8) (n=6) | −0.9 (0.5) (n=6)* |
Ileum contained STa (55 ng/ml) and jejunum contained 0.9% saline.
Results are given as mean (SEM); number of rats in brackets.
Net secretion is shown as a positive fluid movement while net absorption is shown as a negative fluid movement. *p<0.02, control versus vagotomised.
