Abstract
A study showing the gradation in pH from stomach to colon in a number of laboratory rodents in the normal state and after the use of a "high fat" rachitogenic diet. Normally the upper part of the small bowel is acid and the terminal ileum and cecum are either slightly acid or slightly alkalin. There is a possible relationship between the intestinal pH and the occurrence of a phosphoric esterase in the etiology of rickets.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
