The effect of potassium deficiency on gastric secretion

Note: Page 57 missing in original / In October 1946 a dog was prepared in these laboratories with a large partially innervated gastric pouch. The pouch was a modification of the Cope operation (30), a pouch made from the lesser curvature of the stomach. The dog was standardized to the various gastric function tests and was maintained on a normal kennel diet of minced meat. Within 48 days the volume of gastric juice secreted by the pouch increased from an average of 50 c.c. to an average of 135 c. c. daily. There was also noted an increase in the amount of water taken and in the volume of urine excreted.
