The present study was designed to investigate the nature of the 5-HT4 receptors affecting the peristaltic reflex in the isolated rat distal colon. A single peristaltic reflex was evoked by infusing Tyrode solution into the lumen of the isolated segment using our modified Trendelenburg's method under an isovolumic condition. A 5-HT4 receptor agonist, mosapride (10 nM), did not affect the threshold pressure and the propagation distance of the reflex contraction, but significantly increased the developed pressure (maximum pressure - threshold pressure) from 19.1 +/- 11.8 cm H2O in the control to 26.8 +/- 13.0 cm H2O (n = 8, P<0.05) without affecting the resting muscle tone in the distal colon. The present result suggests that stimulation of 5-HT4 receptor enhances the propulsive power to move the luminal contents in the rat distal colon.
