Abstract:
:Small intestinal motility was monitored in conscious rats chronically fitted with intraparietal electrodes, the third and fourth weeks after intraperitoneal administration of saline (controls) or N-(2-chloro-ethyl)-N-ethyl-2-bromobenzylamine (DSP-4, 50 mg/kg), a noradrenergic neurotoxin. Norepinephrine concentrations determined 35 days later in the forebrain and the brainstem were dramatically reduced in DSP-4-treated rats. The frequency of intestinal cycles of motor activity observed after 15 h of fast was very irregular and significantly lower in DSP-4-treated rats. The disruption of the cyclic activity induced by feeding was uncomplete on the duodenum and significantly shorter on the jejunum after DSP-4 treatment. These data indicate that the central noradrenergic innervation plays an important role in the control of the small intestinal cyclic activity and its postprandial disruption.
