Combined effect of glucagon and cholecystokinin on gastric secretion in man

The inhibition of the pentagastrin-stimulated (1 ug/kg b.w./hour) gastric secretion by glucagon (20 ug/kg b.w./hour), cholecystokinin (0.5 IDU/kg b.w./hour), and a combination of these were investigated in 7 volunteers. Glucagon as well as CCK given isolated inhibited the gastric secretion, but no augmentation of inhibition was demonstrated when the hormones were in combination.
