Detailed explanation-1: -It is well established that gastrointestinal blood flow increases after meals, a phenomenon referred to as postprandial or functional hyperemia [7, 22, 42, 148, 149].
Detailed explanation-2: -During exercise there isn’t a need for high amounts of blood flow to the digestive system and so this is diverted to the muscle. Hence, there is decreased rate of blood flow through the digestive system during exercise.
Detailed explanation-3: -Gastric blood flow plays an important role in sustaining the normal physiologic functions of the stomach and it helps to protect the gastric mucosa against ulcer formation. Intrinsic regulatory mechanisms ensure that blood flow is adjusted to meet the energy-demanding processes of gastric secretion and motility.
