Table 4

Items	Baseline ()	After treatment ()	Healthy adults ()
Gastrin (pg/mL)
FGSW (n/min)
PVGSW (s)

FGSW: frequency of gastric slow waves; PVGSW: propagation velocity of gastric slow waves.
Note: propagation velocity of gastric slow waves was assessed by the time interval between two consecutive waves that passed through the gastric antrum.
