Abstract
Summary
1. Intravenous injection of 1/8 to 1/2 cc. of bladder bile per kilo of body weight in dogs causes an immediate but temporary inhibition of gastric motility (hunger), and greatly diminishes the gastric secretion following a test meal. The inhibitory effect upon gastric secretion is more prolonged than upon gastric motility.
2. Chronic obstructive jaundice is followed by a decrease of the motor activity of the empty stomach, a decreased rate of gastric juice secretion, and an increased acidity of the gastric juice.
