The paper presents experimental findings of the kinetics of current and voltage of a self-contained electric stimulator (SCES) of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) with 12X18H9 stainless steel electrodes in 1% HCI solution (which mimics gastric juice). The structure and parameters of a dynamic SCES model are electrochemically considered. The model adequately describes experimental findings and may be used to generate capacity and Faraday components in the electrostimulation current at the electrode-electrolyte borders in order to evaluate the delivery of trace elements, which are deficient in the body, from the SCES electrodes into GIT on electrostimulation.
