Abstract
Diabetic gastroparesis is a well-recognized delay of gastric emptying in diabetic patients. We assessed the gastric emptying rate in ob/ob mice, a genetic model of obesity and diabetes. The basal gastric emptying rate in 22- to 27-week-old ob/ob mice was significantly lower than that in 10- to 11-week-old ob/ob mice (P<.01). Our results indicate that the ob/ob mice are a useful model not only of glucose intolerance but also of delayed gastric emptying as a diabetic complication.Entities:
