Stimulation of Peristalsis in the Potassium Deficient Rat by Acetyl- -Methylcholine.

Abstract
Subcut. injn. of 0.2 mg. of acetyl-beta-methylcholine-Cl (ABM)/100 g. of body wt. increased intestinal motility in K-deficient albino rats to approx. that of control rats. This amt. of ABM induced lacrimation and salivation but did not influence intestinal motility in rats receiving adequate dietary K.
