Effect of antisomatostatin gamma-globulin on gastrin release in rats
Abstract:
In order to determine the mechanism of endogenous gastric somatostatin in the regulation of gastrin release, antisomatostatin rabbit gamma-globulin was administered in vivo and in vitro in the rat. First, in rats anesthetized by chloral hydrate, intravenous injection of 1 ml antisomatostatin rabbit gamma-globulin had no significant effect on plasma gastrin levels. Second, basal gastrin release from the isolated perfused rat stomach was not affected by the administration of antisomatostatin rabbit gamma-globulin (1:99 and 1:1 dilutions). Third, the addition of antisomatostatin rabbit gamma-globulin (1:99) to incubated rat antral mucosa, however, significantly increased the basal gastrin release. From these results, it is concluded that antral somatostatin exerts its inhibitory effect on basal gastrin release mainly not through the circulation but via paracrine pathways.

Hormonal Regulation
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:
Intestinal Phase of Digestion
The arrival of the chyme in the small intestine distends the duodenum, which triggers the enterogastric reflex. This distension...
Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...
