“…Very acid conditions in the duodenum completely inhibit emptying and gastric electromyograms except after a very large meal when inhibition is incomplete (9,10,11). In man gastric emptying is fastest with isotonic solutions (118), and it has been suggested that the products of digestion of isoenergetic amounts of carbohydrate, fat, and protein have equal effects in the duodenum in slowing the rate of gastric emptying (17,59). In spite of small differences between diets in the rate of flow of liquid from the abomasum, the rate of flow of nutrients, e.g., protein and lipids, differs markedly between diets, especially if they do not coagulate in the abomasum (15,177).…”
