Abstract
Feeding disrupts the interdigestive myoelectrical complex (MMC) in several animal species. The purpose of our study was to investigate: (1) the relation between the quantity of food and the duration of the disruption of the MMC; (2) the duration of disruption of the MMC after equicaloric amounts of milk-proteins, carbohydrates, long chain triglycerides (LCT) and medium chain triglycerides (MCT); (3) the duration of disruption of the MMC after mixtures of these pure components.
