Chemistry & Biochemistry Theses & Dissertations
Gastric fluid was recovered from Sprague-Dawley rats that had been fasted for 24 hr or 48 hr and administered 4 mL deionized water. The protein, carbohydrate and chloride ion content of the gastric fluid was determined.
When gastric fluid is chlorinated with radiolabeled chlorine to concentrations between 323 and 375 mg/L, analyzed by high performance chromatography followed by liquid scintillation counting, as much as 59% of the radiolabeled chlorine was associated with organic components of the gastric fluid.
Model studies with the aromatic amino acids and the protein pepsin showed the formation of chlorinated analogs. Two chlorinated amino acid derivatives …
