چکیده

The chief inorganic factors in secretions obtained from isolated pouches constructed in the fundus and in the pyloric antrum of the cat's stomach were found to be chloride ion and fixed base. In a series of samples obtained from the fundic pouch, chloride ion was approximately stationary at 165 cc. 0.1 N per 100 cc. During digestion of food in the stomach, secretions from the pouch contained fixed base in amounts varying considerably from an average of 47 cc. 0.1 N per 100 cc. Material allowed to remain in the pouch after the completion of food digestion in the stomach showed an increasing content of fixed base, to as much as 140 cc. 0.1 N per 100 cc. A stationary total ionic content of secretions of the fundus is thus seen to be sustained by the chloride ion concentration, and changes in hydrogen ion concentration to be caused by variation of fixed base. The differing amounts of fixed base found are regarded as probably due to admixture of a mucous secretion with the juice from the fundic glands. The alkaline secretion taken from a pyloric pouch contained fixed base in excess of chloride ion. Variation of fixed base in the secretions from the fundic pouch were found to be referable to change in sodium content, the smaller factor, potassium, remaining approximately constant at about the value found in material from the pyloric pouch. This suggests that the mucous secretion of the fundus has the same composition as that produced by the pyloric antrum. These data will serve to explain the extensive withdrawal of fixed base, as well as of chloride ion, from the blood plasma in the presence of circumstances causing a continued loss of stomach secretions.

The Effects of Cholestasis and Cirrhosis on Gastric Acid and Pepsin Secretions in Rat: Involvement of Nitric Oxide

Objective(s) The liver has major role in the organism homeostasis, interactions with other systems, synthesis and metabolism of bile production, drug detoxification and hormone inactivation. Cholestasis can be defined as an impairment of the bile flow which can lead to hepatocytes necrosis and finally cirrhosis. Some studies reported a gastric acid secretion reduction in cirrhotic subjects, wh...

Effect of esophageal distension on gastric secretions in rat and the possible mechanism

Introduction: The effect of esophageal distension (ED) on gastric motility has been well documented, but a few investigations have been carried out on the effect of ED on gastric secretion. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of ED on gastric acid and pepsin secretion and the mechanism(s) involved. Methods: Male adult Wistar rats (200-240 g) were anesthetized with urethane (1...

Role of Na-K-2Cl cotransporter-1 in gastric secretion of nonacidic fluid and pepsinogen.

Na-K-2Cl cotransporter-1 (NKCC) has been detected at exceptionally high levels in the gastric mucosa of several species, prompting speculation that it plays important roles in gastric secretion. To investigate this possibility, we 1) immunolocalized NKCC protein in the mouse gastric mucosa, 2) compared the volume and composition of gastric fluid from NKCC-deficient mice and their normal litterm...

The Effects of Loss of Gastric and Pancreatic Secretions and the Methods for Restoration of Normal Conditions in the Body

The composition of gastric and pancreatic juices and the effects of their loss on the composition of the body fluids were studied. Loss of gastric juice by removing water and chloride ions only partly neutralized by fixed base results in dehydration and alkalosis. Loss of pancreatic juice by removing water and a relative excess of fixed base results in dehydration and acidosis. Normal condition...

The Effects of Acute Consumption of Heroin on Basal and Vagal-Stimulated Gastric Acid and Pepsin Secretion in Rat

Background: Opioid peptides and their receptors are present in the majority of body tissues including gastrointestinal tract.  Heroin is one of the opioid derivatives that abuse increasingly today.  So far, there is no study on the effect of acute heroin administration on gastric acid and pepsin secretion. Objective:  To define the effect of the acute heroin consumption on basal and vagal-stimu...
