Abstract:
Rat peritoneal mast cells purified on a Percoll gradient were challenged with substance P and effect of phospholipase A2 inhibitor ONO-RS-082 on substance P-induced histamine release from the cells were investigated. Substance P at the concentration of 10(-5) M caused a significant histamine release and the amount of histamine release reached to its submaximum at 1 min after the challenge and then slowly increased. ONO-RS-082 inhibited the substance P-induced histamine release in a concentration-dependent manner at the concentration from 10(-6) to 10(-4) M, suggesting that phospholipase A2 may play some roles in the process of substance P-induced histamine release from rat peritoneal mast cells.

Pathophysiology of Peptic Ulcer Disease: Injurious Factors
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...
