Core Tip	Length-tension diagrams of smooth muscle strips were obtained in intact segment of intestine in vitro in the present study. We demonstrated that it is a valid tool to evaluate smooth muscle function in intact intestine. Diabetes decreased the force (stress) generated by the smooth muscle normalized to the muscle layer thickness. Since the stress decreased and the muscle layer thickness increased in diabetic rats, it indicates that the intestine, at least in part, remodels in a stress-dependent way. Furthermore, the smooth muscle in Goto-Kakizaki diabetic intestine preserved its response to carbachol stimulation.
