[So-called constancy of chyme composition].

Study of the chyme composition in different phases of digestion at different levels of the small intestine showed the composition to be stabilized enough in respect to the water and electrolytes contents as well as the main nutricious substances. Gradual increase in concentration of the main NSs occurs in the advancing chyme. The data obtained suggest that the constancy of the chyme composition is only valid in respect to the water and electrolytes regardless of their unequal contents in the food.
