The effect of different test meals on the interdigestive myoelectrical complex (MMC) in dogs (Abstract)

Feeding disrupts the interdigestive myoelectrical complex (MMC) in several animal species. The purpose of our study was to investigate: (1) the relation between the quantity of food and the duration of the disruption of the MMC; (2) the duration of disruption of the MMC after equicaloric amounts of milk-proteins, carbohydrates, long chain triglycerides (LCT) and medium chain triglycerides (MCT); (3) the duration of disruption of the MMC after mixtures of these pure components.
