Gastrointestinal myoelectric activity was studied in three conscious fasted dogs with electrodes surgically implanted in the stomach and small intestine, during separate and combined intravenous infusions of 13-norleucine motilin (13-nle-motilin) and pentagastrin (PG). Basal recordings confirmed the presence of regular interdigestive myoelectric complexes (MC's). 13-nle-motilin infusion below 50 ng/kg-h was without effect: higher doses up to 400 ng/kg-h resulted in the interpolation of one or more MC's in the spontaneous sequence. The rate of aboral transit of 13-nle-molitin-induced MC's did not differ significantly from that of spontaneous MC's. When MC's were abolished by feeding or PG infusion, simultaneous 13-nle-motilin administration was without effect on spike activity, but slightly attenuated the accelerating effect of gastrin on the gastric pacemaker frequency. The myoelectric events triggered by 13-nle-motilin suggest that in the conscious dog the polypeptide may not act directly on the smooth muscle cell, as it does in vitro, but through an extra-enteric neural control mechanism which is uncoupled by gastrin.
