Abstract
Summary
Sodium acetate or propionate, administered by venoclysis in a dose of 2.5–5.0 μM/kg/minute, had a pronounced stimulatory effect on secretion of acid from the Heidenhain pouch of the dog with total antrum resection. Higher doses of atropine were required to suppress acetate than methacholine stimulation. Acetate-stimulated secretion was lower in peptic activity than secretion produced in response to methacholine. Similarities of acetate and ethanol stimulation were recognized and discussed.
