The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of IGF-I (5 mg/kg per day) and the more potent analog LR3IGF-I (5 mg/kg per day) on neurally mediated ileal dysmotility following irradiation.
At the time of irradiation, all rats underwent implantation of an osmotic mini-pump that contained 100 mmol/L acetic acid vehicle (n = 8), IGF-I (n = 8) or LR3IGF-I (n = 7).
