1. Prolonged stimulation with pentagastrin in doses of 100 and 500 ng h−1 kg−1 was performed in nine healthy subjects. 2. A plateau in gastric secretion was reached after 90 min with 100 ng h−1 kg−1 and 500 ng h−1 kg−1 resulted in a secretory plateau after 60 min. 3. When the plateau was reached the acid secretion rate was constant for the rest of the study, that is 4 h after beginning the pentagastrin infusion. Medians and interquartile ranges of acid output were 4.9 (3.7–5.2) and 8.1 (5.8–9.5) mmol of H+/30 min. 4. We conclude that no ‘fade’ of gastric acid secretion occurs during 4 h of submaximal pentagastrin stimulation in normal subjects, and that the time required for reaching a secretory plateau is dependent on the dose of pentagastrin.

Effects on ovine gastric function of procedures that increase intestinal unsaturated fatty acid content are unknown, and the present aim was to compare the effects of duodenal unsaturated and saturated fatty acids on gastric secretion in conscious sheep. During the maximal gastric secretory response to a meal, 10 ml gallbladder bile alone or with myristic, palmitic, and stearic acids and oleic, linoleic, and linolenic acids were infused into the duodenum at a rate of 5 g fatty acid . h-1 for 1 h. Compared with control 154 mM NaCl (100%), acid output was reduced to 4-7% of control with infusion of oleic, linoleic, and linolenic acids and myristic acids plus bile. Reductions in acid secretion persisted for up to 5 h from the end of infusion. In contrast, the infusion of palmitic and stearic acids with bile caused mean maximal reductions in acid output, respectively, to only 64 and 55% of control, and levels returned to control within 1 h of the end of infusion. Bile infusion alone caused no reduction in acid secretion. Under the conditions used, C18 unsaturated fatty acids and myristic acid were potent inhibitors of ovine gastric acid secretion. The lesser effects of palmitic and stearic acids were probably related to their reduced solubility and absorption.

Intravenous infusions of fructose, a hexose that does not cross the blood-brain barrier, suppressed insulin-induced gastric acid secretion and electromyographic (EMG) activity despite continuing hypoglycemia. Hepatic portal vein infusions of 0.15 M fructose inhibited acid output while the same concentration delivered via the jugular vein did not, suggesting a hepatic site of action of the hexose. Only infusions of fructose that began before onset of the insulin-induced gastric responses were effective, whereas glucose infusions, which elevated plasma glucose levels, readily reversed ongoing gastric activity. The suppressive effects of fructose on gastric activity were prevented by prior section of the hepatic branch of the vagus nerve. In contrast, hepatic vagotomy did not prevent suppression of gastric responses by infusions of glucose, a hexose utilized by both brain and liver. These results suggest that receptors in the brain may initiate and terminate insulin-induced gastric acid secretion and motor activity, whereas sensors in the liver may inhibit these responses.

We evaluated the effect of two beta-adrenergic agonists, isoproterenol (nonselective agonist) and terbutaline (selective beta 2-agonist), on gastric acid secretion stimulated by intravenous pentagastrin, bethanechol, or histamine in dogs with gastric fistulas. Intravenous infusion of isoproterenol or terbutaline inhibited pentagastrin-stimulated acid secretion to a significantly greater extent than they inhibited bethanechol- or histamine-stimulated acid secretion. For example, isoproterenol (12 micrograms X kg-1 X h-1) reduced mean pentagastrin-, bethanechol-, and histamine-stimulated acid output by 86, 63, and 14%, respectively. Percent inhibition of acid secretion with terbutaline (30 micrograms X kg-1 X h-1) averaged 60, 17, and 24% for pentagastrin, bethanechol, and histamine, respectively. Terbutaline also inhibited pentagastrin-stimulated acid secretion from vagally denervated fundic pouches in a dose-related manner. Plasma somatostatin-like immunoreactivity was significantly higher during infusion of terbutaline plus pentagastrin than during infusion of pentagastrin alone. However, an intravenous infusion of 0.3 microgram X kg-1 X h-1 somatostatin-14 had no effect on pentagastrin-stimulated acid secretion from the gastric fistula, even though this infusion increased plasma somatostatin-like immunoreactivity to the same extent as terbutaline plus pentagastrin infusion. Thus the amount of somatostatin released during terbutaline infusion was not sufficient to explain the inhibition of pentagastrin-stimulated acid secretion observed.

The effect of administration of thyroid products on gastric acid secretion and metabolism was studied in dogs with gastric pouches and in gastric mucosa from rats and frogs. Whole thyroid, thyroxin, triiodothyronine, and iodinated casein generally reduced secretion in thyroidectomized dogs and in dogs with intact thyroids. The thyroid substances elevated BMR above euthyroid levels in normal dogs but not always in thyroidectomized dogs. In dogs with intact thyroids 2,4-dinitrophenol raised oxygen consumption but did not affect secretion. Whole thyroid elevated BMR in rats and frogs but did not change resting mucosal oxygen consumption. During spring and early summer thyroid feeding reduced histamine-stimulated acid secretion and mucosal oxygen consumption during secretion in frogs, but the acid-to-oxygen ratio was unaffected. These findings suggest that elevated tissue concentrations of thyroid hormones reduce the ability of the gastric mucosa to mobilize secretory energy in response to a stimulus. This effect of the thyroid hormones is apparently not directly correlated with their calorigenic properties.

We investigated the gastric acid secretory and motility responses to microinjection into the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus (DMV) of RX 77368, a stable thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) analogue, and bicuculline, a gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABAA) receptor antagonist in ketamine-chloralose-anesthetized cats. Gastric acid output was collected every 15 min through a gastric cannula after saline flush and titrated to pH 7.0. Antral contractions were continuously recorded by an extraluminal strain gauge force transducer. The chemicals were dissolved in saline and unilaterally microinjected in volumes of 200 nl. RX 77368 or bicuculline microinjected into the DMV induced significant dose-dependent (50-500 ng) increases in gastric acid secretion and significant dose-dependent (50-200 ng) increases in the force of antral contractions. In response to both chemicals the gastric acid output increased in the first 15 min and peaked in the second and third collections. RX 77368 (500 ng) had a second greater peak 90 min after microinjection. The motility responses were rapid in onset and lasted 60 min for RX 77368 and 30 min for bicuculline. The minimal effective dose for eliciting increased motility was consistently lower than inducing acid secretion. Electrical stimulation of the DMV with 100 microA, 50-Hz, and 0.2-ms pulse duration increased the force of antral contractions but had no effect on gastric acid secretion. Our results demonstrate that the DMV exerts important control over both gastric acid secretion and motility in cats. TRH exerts a stimulatory influence, while GABAA receptors mediate an inhibitory influence on this vagal control.
