Progressive impairment in gastric and duodenal slow waves and autonomic function during progression of type 2 diabetes in rats

This study recorded the progressive impairment in the regularity of gastric and duodenal slow waves in a rat model mimicking the progression to type 2 diabetes including the stage of health, prediabetic stage, and diabetes. The progressive impairment in gastric/duodenal slow waves might be attributed to the progressive increase in blood glucose and impairment in autonomic function.
