Abstract:Measurements of acid and pepsin secretions and of histamine release in response to food alone or in combination with graded doses of antramine (AH), a molecular form of histamine isolated from antral mucosa, with or without somatostatin were performed simultaneously in dogs equipped with a denervated pouch. AH restored somatostatin-inhibited acid and pepsin secretions but with different intensities in regard to the different inhibitory levels induced by somatostatin. AH competitively antagonized somatostatin (… Show more
