Changing Interdigestive Migrating Motor Complex in Rats under Acute Liver Injury

Figure 2

MMC phases of normal rats and rats with acute liver injury. MMC of rats with acute liver injury is characterized by insignificant changes in MMC Phase II duration but increased migrating clustered contractions of MMC Phase II, significantly shortened MMC Phase III duration, and decreased amplitude and irregular shape of MMC Phase III. The red, blue, and green colors of MMC Phase III came from the gastric antrum, duodenum, and jejunum, respectively.
