“…CCK inhibited the absorption of water and electrolytes from the jejunum of man and the dog [5,7,9,12], and impure CCK was more active than pure CCK [7], Thus it was suggested that the impurity contained in CCK, such as gastric inhibitory polypeptide might have influenced the experimental re sults [7], Intravenous CCK increased the glu cose absorption in the jejunum of dogs [12], however, it inhibited glucose absorption in the human jejunum [5,7], The reason for this difference is not known. In the present study, caerulein, when it was given alone, did not influence the jejunal absorption of water, sodium, potassium or glucose.…”
