The Influence of Diet on the PH of the Digestive Tract of the Albino Rat

Abstract:

2 from an open tungston arc.(4) Oser observed that the fecal pH curves were usually irregular. Even when a definite tendency in one direction or another obtained, there were occasional marked divergencies from the general trend.(5) Schohl and Bing observed a change in the feces from alkaline to acid when rats fed Zucker's diet were cured of rickets by cod-liver oil. This change did not occur when rats made ricketic on Steenback's diet were cured by irradiation of the food or by the addition of alkaline phosphates. Hence, the cure of rickets 18 not necessarily associ-ated with alteration of the pH of the feces from alk-aline to acid.(6) Redman did not find it po 881ble to obtain a definite correlation between the differ-ent states of the disease of rickets and the pH values of the feces of children.
