title: Urethane-induced somatostatin mediated inhibition of gastric acid: reversal by the somatostatin 2 receptor antagonist, PRL-2903.
abstract: Urethane increases the release of somatostatin (SRIF) which inhibits gastric acid secretion. The SRIF monoclonal antibody, CURE.S6 and the novel sst2 antagonist, PRL-2903 injected intravenously at maximal effective doses increased gastric acid secretion by 2 and 10 fold respectively from basal values within 30 min in urethane-anesthetized rats. Plasma gastrin levels were elevated 2.5 fold within 15 min by PRL-2903 (1.3 micromol/kg, i.v.). These data indicate that the low gastrin and acid secretion levels induced by urethane result from endogenous SRIF acting on sst2 and that PRL-2903 is a valuable SRIF antagonist to assess sst2 mediated events.
