    Abstract:
    The aim of this study was to elucidate the variables of gastroduodenal motility determining gastric emptying. For this purpose the effects of exogenous cholecystokinin, secretin, and gastric inhibitory polypeptide on motility and gastric emptying were studied during a meal. Motility was measured with extraluminal strain gage force transducers and induction coils in unanaesthetized dogs. The pyloric diameter and the duodenal lumen were evaluated from radiographs. Gastric emptying of an acaloric cellulose meal was determined radiographically. When compared with control infusion of saline, cholecystokinin (1.7 Ivy units X kg-1 X h-1) and secretin (1.7 clinical units X kg-1 X h-1) delayed gastric emptying and diminished the force of the antral contractions, the force and frequency of the duodenal contractions, and opening of the pylorus. The contractile patterns of the duodenum were changed from propulsive to segmenting activity. Cholecystokinin additionally diminished the duodenal lumen. In contrast, gastric inhibitory polypeptide (1.5 microgram X kg-1 X h-1) did not influence gastroduodenal motility and gastric emptying. It is concluded that the motility parameters that were significantly altered by cholecystokinin and secretin are involved in the control of gastric emptying, while other parameters that remained unchanged play a minor role in the regulating process.
