title: Block of acid secretion by amytal and its partial reversal by menadione with ascorbate in the gastric mucosa of the guinea-pig.
abstract: The effect of amytal on energy metabolism and acid secretion in an isolated gastric mucosa of the guinea-pig were studied. Determination of adenine nucleotides, creatine phosphate, pyruvate and lactate in the gastric mucosa showed that amytal depressed the levels of ATP, creatine phosphate and energy charge with elevation of the AMP and pyruvate levels. This treatment inhibited concomitantly acid secretion and active chloride transport detected by short circuit current. The addition of menadione with ascorbate to the medium in the presence of amytal partially restored ATP and energy charge levels and also induced a partial recovery of acid secretion and activ chloride transport. These results suggest that ATP is a direct energy donor for acid secretion in the gastric mucosa of the guinea-pig.
