Motilin has been called an interdigestive hormone, suspected to induce the interdigestive myoelectric complex (IDMC) in dog (Itoh et al., 1978). Somatostatin (GH-RIH) has been shown to inhibit motilin release in man (Mitznegg et al., 1977). The following study was designed to look at the effect of GH-RIH on blood levels of motilin and on the IDMC in dog.
