Heidenhain pouch secretion and plasma amino nitrogen were estimated during enteral infusions of casein or liver extract, and during intravenous infusions of amino acids, in 3 dogs with and 3 dogs without portacaval transposition. In the dogs without portacaval transposition, gastric secretory responses were slight and did not differ significantly; secretory responses were seen only during infusions in which increase of plasma amino N values occurred. In dogs with portacaval transposition, secretory responses to casein and to liver extract were significantly higher than was the response to intravenous amino acids, whereas plasma amino N increased to about the same values during all 3 types of infusion.
