title: Comparative activities of agonists of active duodenal bicarbonate secretion in the guinea pig.
abstract: The comparative activity of agonists of duodenal bicarbonate secretion was studied in the anesthetized guinea pig, where the duodenal lumen was perfused with 24 mmol/l NaHCO3 to ensure active secretion of bicarbonate. Agonists were infused alone and in combination. Dibutyryl 3',5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) were strong stimulants of bicarbonate secretion. Theophylline, dibutyryl 3',5'-cyclic guanosine monophosphate, glucagon and prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha) were weaker agonists, and secretin had no effect. Combinations of any two of VIP, PGE2 and glucagon depressed bicarbonate secretion, whereas combinations of PGE2 and PGF2 alpha, VIP and PGE2, and glucagon and PGF2 alpha increased bicarbonate secretion. The data indicate that cAMP and other secondary messengers may mediate duodenal bicarbonate secretion.
