Abstract
Studies of gastric emptying in infancy indicate that a receptor system in the duodenum regulating emptying exists operating in a manner qualitatively similar to the adult. Further investigation is needed to describe this system in more detail and evaluate how other factors including feeding volume, nutrient digestion, and disease states affect gastric emptying.Keywords
