Abstract

Gastric juice from an Armour pouch in a dog was collected after feeding by fistula with haddock, cod, mackerel and lobster. The first three proved to be as strong a stimulus as, and lobster a stronger stimulus than, beef for mucin, pepsin, acid and volume of secretion. All remain as long in the stomach as beef, and mackerel longer. The high fat content of the mackerel seems to decrease the pepsin, diminish the volume in the first hour, and prolong the retention of food.
