[Effect of meat prepared by SHF energy and infrared rays on the secretory function of the stomach].

Tests set up on dogs with isolated Pavlov's pouch showed that meat treated with UHF, IR, UHF+UR-energy causes a more abundant gastric secretion than does cooked meat, and when processed with the UR-radiation the ensuing secretion is even superior to that in response to fried meat. In dogs with an isolated Heidenhein's pouch the secretion in response to meat processed with IR and IR and SHF+IR-energy is more intensive than in the case of cooked meat. There was no such difference in the case of the SHF-treated meat. Under the effect of the SHF, IR and SHF+IR-energy processed meat it is chiefly the I phase of the gastric secretion that gains in intensity with a tendency towards an increase in the II phase. The total acidity and the free HCl content in the gastric juice secreted in response to this meat did not undergo any substantial changes. The secretion of total proteinases with the gastric juice per unit time (1 hour) increases over that in the case of cooked meat.
