DER s.c. restored the 'fasting' pattern of duodenal activity, i.e., the migrating myoelectric complex (MMC), corresponding to an inhibition by about 40% of the fed pattern for 120 min at a dose as small as 0.5 nM per rat.

The effects of subcutaneous (s.c.), intraperitoneal (i.p.), intrathecal (i.t.) and intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) injection of dermorphin (DER) on intestinal myoelectrical activity were examined in fed rats with chronically implanted electrodes on the small and large bowel.
