Abstract:
The effect of tetragastrin and histamine on the adenylate cyclase activity of the rat gastric mucosa was examined in vitro. Tetragastrin and histamine were demonstrated to stimulate the activity of the enzyme in question. The antagonist of histamine H2-receptors, cimetidine inhibits the stimulatory effect of histamine in vitro and activates tetragastrin stimulation of the adenylate cyclase activity. It is suggested that tetragastrin and histamine activate adenylate cyclase of the rat gastric mucosa via different receptors.

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...
