[Reflection of gastric peristalsis influence on tis transmucous potential].

Some of the causes owing to which measurement of the gastric transmucous potential in animals and humans has failed to find practical application hitherto are listed. A method developed for operative agar bridges implantation within the abdomen of experimental animals is described. Several types of waves are observed in the electrograms of the gastric transmucous potential of rabbit and rats, obtained in the fashion outlined above. It is established that by changes in amplitude and by frequency, the type of waves just mentioned correspond to the peristalsis of the stomach. It is presumed that these waves are produced by changes in the gastric wall physical parameters upon contractions of the same.
