ABSTRACT
Objective To study the influence of Noradrenergic systems in Lateral Hypothalamus Area (LHA) on small intestine moving. Methods The effect of noradrenalin、noradrenalin+phentolamine、noradrenalin+propolol、phentolamine on small intestines electro-activity of rats was detected by external alimentary canal electrodes and central nervous system stereo-configuration technology. Results After injecting 2 g/L noradrenaline (NE) the cyclic period of MMC extended, the ratio of the active time to the cyclic period and the number of the fast wave within the active time per minute reduced. NE inhibited the electro-activity of small intestine of rats, and the average effective time was (36.86?7.39)min. Hence injecting 5 g/L PE alone to LHA raised the ratio of the MMC active time to the cyclic period. Phentolamine presented a slight excitability on the electro-activity of small intestine of rats. Conclusion The NE in LHA showed the inhibitive myoelectric activity on small intestines, and this effect was introduced through a acceptor,The reacceptor in LHA may function in the inhibition of the electro-activity in small intestines.
