Supramaximal doses of histamine inhibit gastric acid secretion in rabbits. Mepyramine partially blocks this action of histamine. Catecholamine concentrations in the gastric mucosa are not changed during infusion of histamine. It is concluded that in rabbits the inhibitory effect of histamine on acid secretion is not connected with a change in local catecholamine content.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
