Summary

The effect of insulin hypoglycemia on the amount of potassium that could be removed from the stomach of 10 normal dogs was studied. In 5 dogs the gastric secretory volume and the amount of potassium aspirated from the stomach were both increased greatly. In the other 5 dogs, there was no increase in either the volume of secretion or the potassium secreted. A decline in plasma potassium concentration was observed in all 10 animals in response to insulin administration.
