title: Role of endogenous prostaglandins in duodenal alkaline response to luminal hydrochloric acid or arachidonic acid in conscious dogs.
abstract: Duodenal secretion of HCO-3 and luminal release of PGE2 were measured in conscious dogs. The results show that the HCO-3 secretion is closely correlated with the luminal release of PGE2 and that both the HCO-3 and the PGE2 outputs increase dose-dependently after topical application of hydrochloric acid or arachidonic acid. Indomethacin reduced basal HCO-3 and PGE2 release and prevented their increase in response to hydrochloric acid or arachidonic acid. We conclude that mucosal PGE2 plays an important role in the alkaline secretion from the duodenum.
