The aim of this study was to evaluate the fasting and postprandial \u201ccolorectal\u201d and \u201crectocolic\u201d reflexes in response to 2-min isobaric distensions of the colon and rectum, accounting for enteric sensation, compliance, and distending balloon volume. In 14 healthy fasting subjects, a dual barostat assembly was positioned (descending colon and rectum). A 2-min phasic distension was performed in the colon and rectum in random order while the opposing balloon volume was recorded. Sensation (phasic distension) and compliance (ramp distension) were also determined. The experiment was repeated postprandially. Colonic distension resulted in significant rectal tonic contraction in the fasting (rectal volume change: \u221235.4 \u00b1 8.4 ml, P &lt; 0.01) and postprandial (\u221222.2 \u00b1 8.4 ml, P &lt; 0.01) states. After adjustment for colonic sensitivity, for compliance, and for distending balloon volume, the rectal volume change remained significant; the extent of the tonic response, however, correlated significantly with increasing pain score ( P &lt; 0.01). In contrast, rectal distension did not produce a significant tonic response in the colon (fasting: \u22126.5 \u00b1 7.3 ml; postprandial: 2.7 \u00b1 7.3 ml), either unadjusted or adjusted for rectal sensitivity, compliance, and distending balloon volume. In conclusion, the colorectal reflex, but not the rectocolic reflex, can be readily demonstrated both before and after a meal in response to a 2-min isobaric distension in the colon and rectum, respectively. Although the presence of the colorectal reflex does not depend on colonic sensitivity or the volume of the distending colonic balloon, these factors modulate the reflex, especially in the fasting state. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1152\/ajpgi.00460.2003","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,7,2]],"date-time":"2004-07-02T00:39:14Z","timestamp":1088728754000},"page":"G962-G966","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Modulatory influences on antegrade and retrograde tonic reflexes in the colon and rectum"],"prefix":"10.1152","volume":"287","author":[{"given":"Clinton","family":"Ng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mark","family":"Danta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gillian","family":"Prott","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Caro-Anne","family":"Badcock","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"John","family":"Kellow","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Allison","family":"Malcolm","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"24","reference":[{"key":"R1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/gut.34.1.129"},{"key":"R2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1152\/ajpgi.1998.275.3.G498"},{"key":"R3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1572-0241.2001.04088.x"},{"key":"R4","unstructured":"Drossman D, Corazziari E, Talley N, Thompson W, and Whitehead W.
