Summary Results of the two series of experiments on four human subjects who were representative of normal gastric secretory and motor functions have shown that, under the experimental conditions, neither moderate nor large amounts of fat, added to lean beef either by physical mixing or by cooking, affect the gastric secretory response to the meals. In other words, the addition to lean beef of fat as a hydrogenated vegetable oil did not diminish the capacity of the gastric juice to digest protein. Also, the addition of moderate or large amounts of fat to the lean beef did not retard the evacuation from the stomach of either the protein or the fat of the meal.
