Tóm tắt

An experiment was performed to measure stomach retention as a function of stomach load in 60 female albino rats. Each group (N = 10) was loaded with 5, 12, or 25 ml of either isotonic saline or Metrecal. It was found that stomach retention was equal to stomach load only in the 5 ml condition. When greater loads were used, an increasing proportion of the loads passed into the intestine. Intestinal factors in the short term regulation of eating are stressed.
