title: Effects of 13-nle-motilin in man--inhibition of gastric evacuation and stimulation of pepsin secretion.
abstract: In 3 healthy male volunteers, graded doses of 13-norleucine-motilin (13-nle-motilin)--synthetic analogue of motilin and biologically equivalent to the natural polypeptide--were given intravenously on separate days. Gastric emptying, as determined by means of a radioisotope method, was slowed down dose-dependently by increasing doses of 13-nle-motilin. This was indicated by increasing "half-lives" and "starting indices" of the gastric emptying process, and by decreasing pyloric loss rates, respectively. The gastric pepsin output rose markedly from the basal level during intravenous infusion of 13-nle-motilin.
