Abstract
A gastric intubated charcoal-acacia suspension in water in 9 acclimated (62 days exposure to 24,000 ft. for 3.6 hrs./day) male albino rats exposed for 30 min. to 24,000 ft. traversed 56.7% of the small intestine as compared with 38.2% in 9 controls. The difference is statistically significant. Similar results were found in another group of 8 rats acclimated only 26 days. The propulsive motility of 11 acclimated rats (4 hrs./day for 41 days) did not differ from controls when detd. at ground level.
