Zusammenfassung: | Purpose
To measure fasted and fed gastric pH and gastric residence time (GRT) in Cynomolgus monkeys using Bravo® radiotelemetry capsules.
Methods
Continuous pH measurements were recorded with Bravo® capsules, which were either attached to the monkeys’ stomach or administered as free capsules. Meals (either slurry or standard), were administered at designated times with monkeys chair-restrained during slurry meal ingestion.
Results
From the attached capsule studies, the fasted gastric pH (∼1.9–2.2) was consistent among monkeys. Under fasted conditions, pH spikes were infrequently observed (once every 7.9 min to 3.6 h) with peaks reaching pH 9.4 and having short durations ( |
