Calories and gastric emptying: a regulatory capacity with implications for feeding

Abstract: Gastric emptying in four unanesthetized male Macaca mulatta was studied with the serial test meal method of Hunt and Spurrell. Liquid meals were infused into the stomach through a chronic indwelling Silastic cannula. Saline meals empty rapidly and exponentially. Doubling the volume of saline from 150 to 300 ml increased the emptying rate so that the half-life remained unchanged (15 min). The 150-ml glucose meals (0.05, 0.125, and 0.25 g/ml) emptied more slowly than saline, progressively more slowly with increa… Show more

“…The lower gastric retentions observed for the saline and water test meals compared to the rehydrating solution reflected the influences of osmotic concentration and of the calorie content of the meals upon gastric emptying, as reported in other studies (24)(25)(26)(27)(28). During the 72-h period of water deprivation, greater gastric retention of the water and rehydrating solution meals were observed in the dehydrated group.…”

“…On the basis of prior experiments in monkeys, dogs, and humans (9,18,20), we predicted that normal regulation of gastric emptying would ensure virtually constant duodenal loads of glucose so that meal volumes and glucose concentrations could be manipulated to determine how different concentrations of glucose entering the duodenum might also affect postprandial hypotension. A secondary aim was to examine the effects of drink volume on the glycemic response to oral glucose.…”

“…GASTRIC EMPTYING IS ONE MECHANISM involved in the regulation of food intake (33,43). A delay in gastric emptying limits the rate of absorption by reducing the rate of nutrient delivery to the small intestine (5,15,58) and is associated with suppression of food intake (43).…”
