• Effects of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) on the contractile response of rat ileum were studied in vivo. The contractile response was estimated by means of changes in the intraluminal pressure under the isometric condition. Intravenous administration of sodium salts of propionate, butyrate, valerate or caproate produced biphasic contractions : an initial phasic contraction and a subsequent tonic contraction. The effect of propionate was studied in detail. A sigmoid dose-response curve was obtained for the phasic contraction. Atropine, hexamethonium and tetrodotoxin inhibited the phasic contraction, while neostigmine vigorously enhanced it. On the other hand, the tonic contraction was not inhibited by atropine, hexamethonium or tetrodotoxin. Repeated administration of propionate at intervals of less than 3 min led to tachyphylaxis, and this tachyphylaxis disappeared by about 10 min. These results suggest that SCFA induced the biphasic contraction of the rat ileum, probably by neurogenic and myogenic mechanisms.
