將二十八隻母鼠分為二組:一為實驗組;另一為對照組。使實驗組之母鼠以每小時1.2公里之速度每日跑步一小時(星期日休息)。母鼠經十五週之跑步訓練後不僅其胃排空時間顯著縮短(即胃排空加快),其胃重體重比率及心重體重比率亦顯著增大。安靜時之胃排空速率與胃重體重比率呈顯著之相關。
Twenty-eight Long Evans female rats were randomly divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental animals ran at 1.2 km/hr, 1 hr each day(except Sunday)for 15 weeks. Such an exercise training produced a significant increase in ratios of stomach weight to body weight, and heart weight to body weight. It was also observed that these trained rats showed a significant acceleration of gastric emptying at rest. The rate of gastric emptying was correlated with the stomach weight-body weight ratio.
