No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In this study, the investigators will evaluate if the food intake associated with the infusion of erythromycin is caused by the phase 3 contractions or by another yet unknown effect of erythromycin. To obtain this the investigators will use atropine, a muscarinic receptor antagonist, to inhibit the formation of contractions induced by a low dose of erythromycin
