Mobilization of gastric mucosal histamine and gastric secretion after H2-receptor blockade
Abstract:
The effects of two H(2)-receptor antagonists (burimamide and metiamide) on the mobilization of gastric mucosal histamine, as shown by its urinary excretion and acid secretion following pentagastrin infusion, were studied in rats provided with Heidenhain pouches. Pentagastrin-induced secretion was completely inhibited without major Alterations in urinary excretion of histamine. These observations can easily be reconciled with the hypothesis that pentagastrin is not a direct stimulant of the parictal cell.

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...

Hormones Secreted by the Stomach
Each of these hormones secreted by different enteroendocrine cells plays a unique role in digestion. Here are a few examples:
Gastric Phase of Digestion
When food enters the stomach, it stretches the stomach walls and activates stretch receptors. This triggers local reflexes of the enteric nervous system, mediated through the myenteric plexus. These...
Intestinal Phase of Digestion
The arrival of the chyme in the small intestine distends the duodenum, which triggers the enterogastric reflex. This distension...
