Contractile responses of nondiabetic and diabetic gastric fundus and antrum muscles to cholinergic motor neuron stimulation. Representative traces of the contractile responses of muscle strips to 5 Hz, 10 Hz, and 20 Hz EFS from (a) nondiabetic and (b) diabetic fundus muscles and (c) nondiabetic and (d) diabetic antrum muscles. (e) Mean fold increase in of nondiabetic and diabetic fundus and antrum muscles stimulated with 5 Hz, 10 Hz, or 20 Hz EFS (). and .
