Abstract
Summary
Intestinal secretion in dogs was found to be resistant to anoxia. At a partial pressure of oxygen of 80 mm Hg (approximate altitude of 18,000 ft.) there was no effect, and at 53 mm Hg (28,000 ft.) only a mild depression of secretion, which was not statistically significant. This indicates a low energy requirement for intestinal secretion.
