Abstract |
Abnormal gastric motility has been suggested as a possible causative factor for acute gastric dilatation observed in nonhuman primates. To evaluate gastric motility in a colony, fasting serum gastrin immunoreactivity and gastric emptying times were assessed in rhesus monkeys that had survived single episodes of acute gastric dilatation. These were paired with age- and weight-matched control monkeys from the same colony. Neither gastric emptying times nor gastrin assays were significantly different between the acute gastric dilatation and control groups.
