Background: The role of the sphincter of Oddi (SO) in ethanol (ETOH)-induced pancreatitis is controversial. Our aim was to characterise the effect of ETOH on basal and stimulated rabbit SO motility. Methods: SOs removed from white rabbits were placed in an organ bath containing Krebs solution. The effects of 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8% of ETOH on the contractile responses of the SO were determined. The SOs were stimulated with either 0.1µM carbachol (C), 1µM erythromycin (E) or 0.1µM CCK. Results: (1) ETOH at a dose of 0.4% significantly decreased the baseline contractile amplitude from 11.98±0.05 mN to 11.19±0.07 mN…
