1. Single meals of protein (24.3 mg nitrogen/100 g body-weight) were fed with and without carbohydrate (167 mg/100 g body-weight) to groups of rats kept in anticoprophagy cages after an 18 h fast. The contents of the gastro-intestinal tract were collected and analysed and the rises in plasma amino acid concentrations were also determined.

2. After ingestion of different proteins with sucrose, the passage of protein from the stomach was delayed compared with that when the meal was of protein alone: the initial stomach emptying was little affected by the nature of the protein in the diet, but subsequently the relative rates of evacuation of different proteins were similar to those when the proteins were given alone.

3. When proteins were given with different carbohydrates the subsequent digestion and absorption of the meal was modified in a way which could be explained by the observed properties of the carbohydrates given alone, particularly with regard to solubilization in the stomach.

4. The rises in concentration of plasma free amino acid were lower after ingestion of proteins with carbohydrate than when the proteins were eaten alone, and different carbohydrates affected these rises to different degrees.
