The intervillous pH profiles along the crypt villus axis in different regions of the rat small intestine were measured in vitro by using pH-sensitive liquid ion-exchanger microelectrodes. A characteristic pH profile was observed in the duodenum and jejunum. A region of low pH was detected in the upper parts of the villi (pH 6.65 +/- 0.06 to 6.85 +/- 0.07), whereas pH at the villus base was always higher. In the ileum no gradient was observed (pH 7.26 +/- 0.05 to 7.31 +/- 0.05). Preincubation of the tissue in situ with 10 mM theophylline for 1 h caused an increase in the villus base pH in the jejunum (pH 7.24 +/- 0.04) and ileum (7.44 +/- 0.04) followed by a subsequent increase of the pH in the upper part of the villi. These results indicate that the low pH in the upper intervillous space may be related to H+ secretion occurring from the mature enterocytes, whereas the crypt cells may secrete a rather neutral or slightly alkaline fluid. Alkaline secretion from the crypts may be increased by theophylline, which changes the levels of cyclic nucleotides in the mucosa.

Expressing gastric pH as a function of gastric emptying instead of time makes it possible to reduce the inter-individual variability and highlight the pH values that are the most relevant for testing meal digestion in the stomach.

The aim of this work was to study the impact of the methodology of in vitro gastric digestion (i.e., in terms of motility exerted and presence of gastric emptying) and gel structure on the degree of intestinal proteolysis and lipolysis of emulsion gels stabilized by whey protein isolate. Emulsions were prepared at pH 4.0 and 7.0 using two homogenization pressures (500 and 1000 bar) and then the emulsions were gelled by heat treatment. These gels were characterized in terms of texture analysis, and then were subjected to one of the following gastric digestion methods: in vitro mechanical gastric system (IMGS) or in vitro gastric digestion in a stirred beaker (SBg). After gastric digestion, the samples were subjected to in vitro intestinal digestion in a stirred beaker (SBi). Hardness, cohesiveness, and chewiness were significantly higher in gels at pH 7.0. The degree of proteolysis was higher in samples digested by IMGS–SBi (7–21%) than SBg–SBi (3–5%), regardless of the gel’s pH. For SBg–SBi, the degree of proteolysis was not affected by pH, but when operating the IMGS, higher hydrolysis values were obtained for gels at pH 7.0 (15–21%) than pH 4.0 (7–13%). Additionally, the percentage of free fatty acids (%FFA) released was reduced by 47.9% in samples digested in the IMGS–SBi. For the methodology SBg–SBi, the %FFA was not affected by the pH, but in the IMGS, higher values were obtained for gels at pH 4.0 (28–30%) than pH 7.0 (15–19%). Our findings demonstrate the importance of choosing representative methods to simulate food digestion in the human gastrointestinal tract and their subsequent impact on nutrient bioaccessibility.

Evidence suggests that distinct mechanisms underlie diabetic and idiopathic gastroparesis. Differences in gastric acid in gastroparesis of different etiologies and varying degrees of gastric stasis are uninvestigated. We tested the hypotheses that 1) gastric pH profiles show differential alteration in diabetic vs. idiopathic gastroparesis and 2) abnormal pH profiles relate to the severity of gastric stasis. Sixty-four healthy control subjects and 44 gastroparesis patients (20 diabetic, 24 idiopathic) swallowed wireless transmitting capsules and then consumed99mTc-sulfur colloid-labeled meals for gastric scintigraphy. Gastric pH from the capsule was recorded every 5 s. Basal pH was higher in diabetic (3.64 ± 0.41) vs. control subjects (1.90 ± 0.18) and idiopathic subjects (2.41 ± 0.42; P < 0.05). Meals evoked initial pH increases that were greater in diabetic (4.98 ± 0.32) than idiopathic patients (3.89 ± 0.39; P = 0.03) but not control subjects (4.48 ± 0.14). pH nadirs prior to gastric capsule evacuation were higher in diabetic patients (1.50 ± 0.23) than control subjects (0.58 ± 0.11; P = 0.003). Four-hour gastric retention was similar in diabetic (18.3 ± 0.5%) and idiopathic (19.4 ± 0.5%) patients but higher than control subjects (2.2 ± 0.5%; P < 0.001). Compared with control subjects, those with moderate-severe stasis (>20% retention at 4 h) had higher basal (3.91 ± 0.55) and nadir pH (2.23 ± 0.42) values ( P < 0.05). In subgroup analyses, both diabetic and idiopathic patients with moderate-severe gastroparesis exhibited increased pH parameters vs. those with mild gastroparesis. In conclusion, diabetic patients with gastroparesis exhibit reduced gastric acid, an effect more pronounced in those with severely delayed gastric emptying. Idiopathic gastroparetic subjects exhibit nearly normal acid profiles, although those with severely delayed emptying show reduced acid vs. those with mild delays. Thus both etiology and degree of gastric stasis determine gastric acidity in gastroparesis.
