In some experimental work on rabbits in this laboratory, in which the results were based on the bodyweight , it has been found necessary to avoid the error introduced by the variation in the weight of intestinal, stomach, and bladder contents. In view of a possible wider interest in the data collected for our use, we report them in this paper. Joseph I examined one hundred rabbits for the purpo...

The relation between gastric emptying and the intragastric distribution of 300 ml radiolabelled beef consommé with and without 60 g margarine was investigated by performing randomised, paired gammacamera studies in seven healthy male volunteers (aged 20-22 years). The low calorie bland meal emptied rapidly from both the proximal and distal stomach after a short lag period (4-6 min), during whic...

It has been shown that small amounts of the digestive secretions normally present in the duodenum regurgitate into the stomach following operative anastomosis between the stomach and the upper intestinal tract. As the duodenal contents are alkaline in reaction this reflux is thought by many to result in a decrease in the acidity of the gastric contents. The purpose of the investigations reporte...

the food and feeding habit of beardless barb, cyclocheilichthys apogon (valenciennes, 1842), from family cyprinidae was investigated by stomach content analyses of 374 collected fish in two consecutive reservoirs; temengor and bersia reservoirs which are separated by temengor dam. the main aim of this study was to compare the stomach contents of c. apogon between these two reservoirs in wet and...
