Abstract
It was found in four tests on each of 12 rats with a chronic gastric fistula and accustomed to the experimental procedures that insulin hypoglycemia short of convulsions stimulated gastric secretion when the vagus nerves were intact. In five tests on each of seven rats, it was found that section of the vagi abolished the secretory response to insulin hypoglycemia. This evidence is interpreted as establishing the presence of gastric secretory nerves in the vagi of the rat.
