Aims: We previously reported that mechanical atrial stretch (AS) by balloon distention increased gastric tonus in anesthetized rats. The present study evaluated the effect of AS on the gastric emptying of a liquid test meal in awake rats and its underlying neural mechanisms. Main methods: Anesthetizedmale rats received a balloon catheter into the right atrium and a gastrostomy cannula. The next day,mean arteria...
