Abstract
Esophageal peristalsis in the middle and distal esophagus was analyzed in nine healthy people before, during, and after food intake. A significant increase in amplitude of contractions occurred during and after eating. Furthermore, a significant increase in duration and propagation time of contractions occurred in the distal part of the esophagus during food intake.Entities:
