title: Studies on the H2-receptor antagonism of MK-208 in isolated rabbit gastric glands.
abstract: Using isolated rabbit gastric glands, the H2-receptor antagonist MK-208 was investigated with respect to its effects on [14C]aminopyrine uptake as an index of gastric acid secretion. In addition to shifting the histamine concentration-response curve to the right in a parallel fashion, the antagonism produced by MK-208 was reversible, contrary to that previously seen in the guinea pig atria. These observations suggest that the H2-receptors responsible for mediating gastric secretion in the rabbit and the chronotropic response in guinea pig atria are different.
