Fig. 3From: Onset of acid-neutralizing action of a calcium/magnesium carbonate-based antacid using an artificial stomach model: an in vitro evaluationAverage a cumulative and b instantaneous increase in gastric pepsin activity with antacid or placebo. The graphs reflect the concentration of digested peptide/protein fractions due to the action of pepsin on a reference protein (bovine serum albumin) during antacid or placebo incubations (n = 6) (absorbance values at 280 nm). Graphs on the left focus on the first 5 min of incubation, while those on the right show the changes throughout the entire incubation periodBack to article page
