In conscious piglets with electrodes implanted in the wall of the antrum pylori, duodenum, jejunum and ileum, the influence of intravenous infusion of serotonin (5-HT), 4 micrograms/kg/min for 2 hours, on gastrointestinal electrical activity and arterial pressure was examined. 5-HT was without significant influence on antral electrical activity and arterial pressure. In the small intestinal parts 5-HT provoked a shortening of the interval of the migrating myoelectrical complex (MMC) by reducing the duration of phase I and phase II activities, and an increase in propagation velocity. 5-HT also induced an increase in phase III activity. A possible involvement of 5-HT in the initiation and propagation of the MMC is suggested.
