Hello Everyone,
I have a very basic question. I am looking for the Total Volume of a
rat's stomah. Simply put, how much volume does a rat's stomach hold?
Thanks in advance - Dianna

-- Dianna,
I asked this question from the group and Prof. Marival Wrote to me:
"when we performed perfusion experiments (doluisios'smethod) in rat
(wistar) stomach, we used 3 mL without causing too much distension of
the stomach wall. When we administered orally solutions of drugs with
agavage we use 2.5 mL"
Hope this helps.
