Inhibition of pepsin secretion by metiamide and atropine in the conscious rat.
The inhibition of pepsin secretion by metiamide and atropine has been studied in the gastric fistula rat and the Heidenhain pouch rat. A comparison of the effectiveness of metiamide and atropine in inhibiting pepsin secretion was made by using doses of the antagonists which produced a similar level of inhibition of acid secretion. In the gastric fistula rat both atropine and metiamide inhibited the basal pepsin output, but atropine was more effective than metiamide in this respect. In the Heidenhain pouch rat a large dose of metiamide which inhibited bethanechol-stimulated acid secretion had no significant effect on the corresponding output of pepsin. In this preparation atropine inhibited both acid and pepsin secretion. Possible reasons for the differences in the two preparations are discussed.

The effect cystamine on gastric secretion in the rat.
The effects of cystamine on gastric secretion were studied in conscious and anaesthetized rat preparations. In the conscious gastric fistula rat cystamine inhibited the basal acid output but increased pepsin output. This pepsinogogue action was inhibited by both atropine and metiamide. In the anaesthetized rat cystamine stimulated gastric acid output, an effect blocked by cimetidine which had an inhibitory E.D. 50 which was not significantly different from that obtained against histamine-stimulated secretion in this preparation. Atropine at high doses failed to inhibit the response. Depletion of mast cell histamine by compound 48/80 the secretory response to cystamine. In the light of these results possible mechanisms of action for the secretagogue effects of cystamine are discussed.

Comparison of amino acids bathing the oxyntic gland area in the stimulation of gastric secretion.
This study was undertaken to compare the ability of L- and D-isomers of amino acids bathing the oxyntic gland area to stimulate acid secretion in conscious dogs with Heidenhain pouch (HP), gastric fistula (GF) and pancreatic fistula (PF). Acid outputs from HP were determined by an intragastric titration method when amino acid solutions were perfused into HP at various concentrations, pH values, and distention pressures. Only L-isomers of all natural amino acids were found to stimulate acid secretion, whereas D-isomers of amino acids tested were completely inert in this respect. The comparison of the secretagogue activity of amino acids shows that L-histidine among essential amino acids and glycine among nonessential amino acids exhibited the strongest stimulation of acid outputs, reaching, respectively, 52 and 40% of the maximal response to histamine. Decreasing the pH of L-histidine solution perfused into HP in sequential order from 5.0 to 1.0 resulted in a stepwise reduction of acid output, falling at pH 1.0 to about 40% of the peak response achieved at pH 5.0. Local irrigation of HP by 2% xylocaine and intravenous infusion of atropine (100 mug per kg per hr) or metiamide (2.9 mg per kg per hr) reduced but did not abolish HP response to chemical stimulation and the pH dependency of this response. We conclude that only L- and not D-isomers of amino acids bathing the oxyntic gland area stimulate acid secretion by a local, gastrin-independent mechanism sensitive to distention pressure and pH.
