title: Cholecystokinin-induced contraction of opossum sphincter of Oddi. Mechanism of action.
abstract: In this study, we evaluated the mechanism of action whereby cholecystokinin increases spike-burst rate of the opossum sphincter of Oddi (SO). Each spike burst corresponds to a peristaltic SO contraction. Two types of animal preparations were evaluated: (1) awake chronic animal preparations and (2) anesthetized animals. A total of 19 chronic animals were prepared by implantation of electrodes on the SO, gastric antrum, duodenum, and jejunum. SO spike-burst rate was stimulated by intravenous infusion of CCK-OP (10 ng/kg/min), feeding, or intraduodenal infusion of fat-containing nutrient. Each stimulus was begun 20 min after cessation of phase III duodenal MMC activity and caused an increase in SO spike-burst rate from about 2 to 6/min that lasted for less than or equal to 1 hr. Such increases were antagonized substantially by hexamethonium, atropine, or methysergide. The CCK antagonist, L364718, antagonized the excitatory SO response to CCK-OP infusion or intraduodenal infusion of fat-containing nutrient (Isocal) but did not antagonize the response to feeding; CR1409 had no antagonistic effect on SO response to any of the three types of stimuli. In the acute studies in anesthetized animals, an intravenous bolus dose of CCK-OP (800 ng/kg) caused a substantial increase in SO spike-burst rate that was antagonized by CR1409 but not by atropine, hexamethonium, methysergide, L364718, or TTX.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
