title: [Effects of electrical cauterization of nucleus raphe magnus on gastric acid output and serum gastrin level in rats].
abstract: Medullary raphe nucleus complex plays an important role in the regulation of visceral function. The effects of electrical damage of the nucleus raphe magnus on gastric acid output and serum gastrin level in anesthetized rats were observed. The experiments showed that damage of nucleus raphe magnus increased gastric acid output and serum gastrin level, which could be prevented by vagotomy but not by coeliac and superior mesenteric ganglionectomy.
