Abstract
An aqueous extract of gluten, and its ultrafiltrate, depressed the peristaltic reflex of the rat jejunum. This effect was shared by similar extracts of mammalian skeletal muscle but not by such proteins as casein, gelatin, and albumin. Peptic-tryptic digestion did not abolish the effect, whereas acid hydrolysis of the active fractions destroyed the depressant substance.Entities:
