[The self-regulation elements in the stomach secretor response to perturbing effects]
Abstract:
By the levels of stomach juice volume, its proteolytic activity, hydrogen ion activity, secreted mucus volume, the experimental dogs with stomach fistula were divided into two groups: with low and with high levels of secretion. The perturbing effects involved immobilization stress, mineral water, prolin-containing peptide Gly-Pro. One of the self-regulation mechanisms involved an "initial background rule": if the initial level of the secretion parameters is low, then it grows following the effect, whereas if it is high--it becomes lower. The rule was most evident in the stomach juice secretion complex-reflex phase.

In the antrum region, G cells secrete the gastrin hormone that binds to gastrin-cholecystokinin-B (CCK2) receptors on parietal and enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells in the fundic glands. Simultaneously, the vagus nerve releases acetylcholine, which binds to M3...
