[Comparative examinations of gastric juice in healthy infants and in infants suffering from enteritis (author's transl)].
There are significant differences between the shapes of curves of gastric juice volume, acid quantity, pH levels, and peptic activity, in the three age groups of healthy infants under examination. Significant differences are also seen in all three age groups with regard to the quantity of acid calculated in relation to 1 ml gastric juice, as well as the relative peptic activity (volume activity). The amount of gastric juice is proportional to the bodyweight and body surface of the infants, whereas acid concentration and peptic volume activity show a relatively steeper increase.
