Abstract:The effects of serotonin and 5-HT4 receptor agonist cisapride on electrical activity of the stomach and small intestine were studied in rats with postoperative ileus. Postoperative ileus was accompanied by the absence of the migrating myoelectric complex in the stomach and small intestine. All phases of the migrating myoelectric complex were successively recovered in the jejunum, duodenum, and stomach. Administration of serotonin and 5-HT4 receptor agonist cisapride into the jejunum was followed by the appeara… Show more
