Studies on Peptic Inhibition

Abstract

Conclusions

1. Aluminum hydroxide, aluminum phosphate, magnesium trisilicate, and mucin inhibited peptic activity by altering the pH, the percent of inhibition being directly related to change in pH. 2. Of these 4, magnesium trisilicate was the most effective inhibiting agent, exerting the greatest effect on the pH. 3. Of the substances used, sodium lauryl sulfate alone completely inhibited peptic activity without any alteration in pH.
