Gastric emptying following Finney pyloroplasty and vagotomy

Gastric emptying was evaluated in a series of unanesthetized dogs in the intact state, following Finney pyloroplasty, and with the addition of vagotomy. Sodium chromate labeled test meals of glucose, trisodium citrate, and trisodium citrate-fat were used. Finney pyloroplasty resulted in a trend for delayed emptying of fat from the stomach. The trisodium citrate test meal increased the levels of gastric secretion after pyloroplasty.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/44373/1/10620_2005_Article_BF02239291.pd
