Abstract
The rate of water absorption in unanesthetized dogs with jejunal ring fistulas was reduced significantly below control rates following distilled water instillation. Chloride absorption also was decreased, but not significantly. During the distilled water period water was absorbed rapidly while chloride was transfered into the test solution. Both of these processes were most rapid at the beginning of the period and least rapid toward the end. The theoretical solutions which were absorbed were isosmotic during the control periods and hyperosmotic after the distilled water period.
