Abstract
In 11 dogs with gastric fistulae receiving 50% glucose solution intravenously, in more than 90% of 87 injections the stomach was not depressed. The hypoglycemia which accompanies insulin causes gastric hypermotility. Pan-createctomy is followed by hypermotility, and is due to the incident "hunger," for it does not develop for 5-11 days after the withdrawal of insulin. Commercial solutions of insulin given intravenously depress the stomach and intestine of unanesthetized dogs.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
