OBJECTIVE Gastric blood flow exhibits cyclical increases in phase with the interdigestive contractions and secretion of the stomach in dogs. The aim of this study is to clarify the regulatory role of motilin in interdigestive gastric blood flow in dogs. METHODS Blood flow of the left gastric (LGA) and superior mesenteric (SMA) arteries were measured by ultrasound transit-time blood-flow meters in 5 conscious dogs. Motilin was infused intravenously with or without Phe-cyclo[Lys-Tyr(3-tBu)-betaAla-]. trifluoroacetate (GM-109; motilin antagonist), granisetron (5-HT3 antagonist), atropine, hexamethonium (C6), phenoxybenzamine, propranolol, or cimetidine. RESULTS Motilin (12.5, 25, 50, and 100 pmol x kg(-1) x h(-1)) induced LGA blood-flow responses, consisting of a sustained increase and a rapid phasic change coupled with a contraction, without affecting the blood pressure, heart rate, and SMA blood flow. GM-109 completely abolished the LGA, motility, and secretory responses to motilin (100 pmol x kg(-1) x h(-1)). Atropine abolished motilin-induced gastric contractions, secretion, and phasic changes of LGA blood flow but failed to affect the sustained flow increase. However, atropine partially inhibited the LGA responses to lower doses of motilin. The LGA flow responses to motilin were not inhibited by granisetron, C6, alpha-adrenergic, beta-adrenergic, or H2 blockers. Motilin induced significantly larger gastric vasodilatation than the equivalent doses of VIP. CONCLUSIONS Motilin has a potent and selective gastric vasodilator effect, which appears to be mediated by both cholinergic and noncholinergic mechanisms. Motilin plays an important role in the regulation of interdigestive gastric blood flow in dogs.

D005753 Gastric Mucosa Lining of the STOMACH, consisting of an inner EPITHELIUM, a middle LAMINA PROPRIA, and an outer MUSCULARIS MUCOSAE. The surface cells produce MUCUS that protects the stomach from attack by digestive acid and enzymes. When the epithelium invaginates into the LAMINA PROPRIA at various region of the stomach (CARDIA; GASTRIC FUNDUS; and PYLORUS), different tubular gastric glands are formed. These glands consist of cells that secrete mucus, enzymes, HYDROCHLORIC ACID, or hormones.
