- Abstract
In dogs after feeding increased plasma insulin concentration is positively related in converting the "fasted" pattern of electrical activity into the "fed" pattern. In sheep, the release of insulin induced by a perfusion of volatile fatty acids is accompanied by similar changes in the pattern of electrical activity. The results indicate that insulin release induced by nutrients plays a major role in the control of intestinal motility in both species.
