Antral frequency (cycles/min) | 3.09 ± 0.31 | 3.30 ± 0.73 | 3.15 ± 0.28 | 2.96 ± 0.35 | NA | NA |
Antral ejection fraction (%) | 26.28 ± 13.74 | 29.43 ± 13.42 | 27.96 ± 15.31 | 26.95 ± 9.38 | NA | NA |

IMD = ratio of count in proximal stomach to total gastric count immediately after meal ingestion; NA = not available because of low count caused by majority of meal’s having left stomach.
Data are mean ± SD.
