The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of intraluminal pH on motor activity of the lower esophageal body. Liquid boluses of different pH values (7 to 2) were infused in the esophagus of 14 normal subjects during manometric recording of motor activity. Each test infusion elicited an esophageal motor response, either secondary peristalsis or simultaneous contractions. Secondary peristalsis was elicited by similar volumes of perfusates at pH 7, 6, 5, but significantly less volumes were needed with perfusates pH 4, 3, and 2. Simultaneous motor activity was not affected by intraesophageal pH value in the range investigated.
