Rat gastric secretion "in vitro": interaction between histamine and various antisecretagogues acting by different mechanisms.
The interaction between histamine and various antisecretagogues acting by different mechanisms has been investigated in the isolated fundus from the rat stomach. Histamine evoked a concentration-dependent stimulatory effect which was competitively antagonized by the H2-receptor antagonist, ranitidine and non competitively by the H+/K+-ATPase inhibitor, omeprazole. The histamine induced secretion was highly resistant to the action of the calcium entry blocker verapamil, somatostatin and KSCN, but some inhibition was obtained with the calmodulin antagonist, trifluoperazine. Removal of calcium ions from the bathing media (both mucosal and serosal) greatly enhanced histamine-induced gastric secretion. The results suggest that the relationship between receptor stimulation and the intracellular events leading to acid secretion is far from being elucidated.
