title: Effects of a new cholecystokinin antagonist (GE 410) on the smooth muscle of the guinea pig ileum.
abstract: Suc-Tyr-(SE)-Met-Gly-Trp-Met-Asp-beta-phenethylamide (GE 410) competitively antagonized the contractions of smooth muscle strips from guinea pig ileum (pA2 = 7.6, n = 0.95) induced by cholecystokinin-octapeptide (CCK8). GE 410 inhibited the electrically-induced cholinergically mediated contractile responses and the [3H]ACh release in the ileum, as well as the CCK-stimulated electrical contractile responses and the [3H]ACh release in the cholinergic nerve terminals. The results suggest the existence of CCK-receptors not only in the smooth muscles but also on the neurons.
