Abstract
Volume and electrolyte composition were studied from the juice of isolated duodenal loops in 3 dogs. The mean volume rate of fasting basal secretion was 0.7 ml/30 min. A significant increase in volume (p < 0.05) and bicarbonate output (p < 0.05) was found in response to a 600-g meat meal. Bicarbonate concentration was not related to volume rate of secretion. The concentrations of sodium and bicarbonate were similar to those of blood plasma, whereas the concentrations of chloride and potassium were higher.
