Six adult healthy thoroughbreds were used, in which EIG signals from the small intestine were measured by a Degetorappar EGG system. Mosapride, dissolved in 200 ml water, was orally administered at a dose of 2 mg/kg. The total power of EIG signals at a frequency band of 3 cpm was 419.1 ± 122.0 (μV) 2 × cpm (n=6) before, and 2,093.6 ± 850.0 (μV)2 × cpm (n=6) after the drug administration, the latter mean value being significantly greater than the former. This result suggests that mosapride has a prokinetic action on the motility of horse small intestine.}, pages = {81--84}, title = {Effects of Orally Administrated Mosapride, a 5-HT4 Receptor Agonist on the Digestive Tract of Horses}, volume = {15}, year = {2004} }
