Abstract
Summary
The foregoing observations show that “tagged” chloride ions when injected into the general circulation are identified in the acid gastric juice of the stimulated stomach in dog and in man as quickly as 60 to 120 seconds after injection. Presumably at least some of these ions in the juice were derived from the HC1 present. Tagged chloride ions continued to circulate in the blood for more than one hour after intravenous injection and were transported into the gastric juice continuously during this period. Such ions did appear in the urine but were detected at irregular intervals and in relatively low concentration.
