Potential rat model of anxiety-like gastric hypersensitivity induced by sequential stress

Figure 10 Influence of sequential stress on the rate of gastric emptying. A: Although the food intake in 3 hours after 18 h fast were similar between the two groups, the gastric contents 3 h post food intake in sequential-stress-treated rats increased; B: the rate of gastric emptying of the food ingested in sequential-stress-treated rats decreased. Data were expressed as the mean ± SEM of the food weight and the rate of gastric emptying (n = 8 in each group). ^aP < 0.05, ^bP < 0 .01 vs control group.
