title: [Effect of a new opioid peptide on gastric secretion in the rat stimulated with 2-deoxyglucose].
abstract: Gastric secretion was studied in conscious rats with chronic gastric fistulae maintained in restraint cages. Experiments were performed 24 hours after surgical procedure: the stomachs were washed with 3 ml of saline and gastric acid determined by titration of pH 6 every 30 minutes. The i.v. injection of 75 mg/kg of 2DG strongly stimulated gastric secretion, with a 5-fold increase of acid output in comparison to control rats. The slow intravenous injection of dermorphin, 15 min before 2DG, dose-dependently inhibited the stimulant effect of the latter. Opioid activity of dermorphin has been reported (5); on the other hand, the intracerebroventricular injection of opiates has been shown to decrease the gastric secretion of the rat by Rozé et al. (3). The effectiveness of dermorphin given by intravenous route observed in present experiments seems to suggest the hypothesis that dermorphin (and other opiates) may act, besides central, also on peripheral sites.
