Abstract:
In the rabbit "in vivo", arterial infusions of adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) not only evoked gastric inhibitory motor responses, but influenced the tone of the stomach. ATP increased and VIP decreased the gastric tone. The effects on the tone appeared strictly related to the inhibitory motility patterns elicited in the stomach by the two non-adrenergic, non-cholinergic neurotransmitters.
