... ... opened along the mesenteric border, cleaned, and pinned flat in a Petri dish with Sylgard base in carbogenated Krebs solution (in mmol/L: 118 NaCl, 4.7 KCl, 2.5 CaC2, 1 NaH2PO4, 1.2 MgCl2, 11 D-glucose, and 25 NaHCO3). The mucosal/submucosal layers were separated and discarded by microdissection. Circular muscle strips (4 mm x 10 mm) were mounted in individual muscle baths (Radnoti Glass, Monrovia, CA) filled with 5 ml carbogenated Krebs solution ... ...
