Resumo
the aim of this study was to validate the Alternate Current Biosusceptometry (ACB) for monitoring gastric contractions in rats. In vitro data were obtained to establish the relationship between ACB and the strain-gauge (SG) signal amplitude. In vivo experiments were performed on rats with magnetic markers and SGs previously implanted under the gastric serosa. The effects of the prandial state in gastric motility profiles were obtained. The correlation between in vitro signal amplitudes was strong (R = 0.989). The temporal cross-correlation between the ACB and SG signal amplitude was higher in the postprandial than in the fasting state. Irregular signal profiles, low contraction amplitudes, and smaller signal-to-noise ratios explained the poor correlation for fasting-state recordings. The contraction frequencies using ACB were 0.068 ± 0.007 Hz (postprandial) and 0.058 ± 0.007 Hz (fasting) and those using SG were 0.066 ± 0.006 Hz (postprandial) and 0.059 ± 0.008 Hz (fasting) (P < 0.003). When a magnetic tracer was ingested, there was a strong correlation and a small phasedifference between techniques. We conclude that ACB provides an accurate and sensitive technique for studies of GI motility in the rat. © 2010 IEEE.
