Male Heidenhain pouch dogs were used to evaluate the antidiuretic hormone as a physiological inhibitor of gastric acid secretion. The dogs were stimulated to a constant gastric secretion by food and 40-minute ADH infusions of different concentrations took place. The inhibition was expressed as a percentage and plotted against the dose of ADH. The physiological significance of these doses is discussed and evaluated against already published data on normal concentrations. In our experiments we found that 30 muU/kg min markedly influenced the gastric secretion, which means that this inhibition may well occur under physiological conditions.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013270	Stomach	An organ of digestion situated in the left upper quadrant of the abdomen between the termination of the ESOPHAGUS and the beginning of the DUODENUM.	Stomachs
D014667	Vasopressins	Antidiuretic hormones released by the NEUROHYPOPHYSIS of all vertebrates (structure varies with species) to regulate water balance and OSMOLARITY. In general, vasopressin is a nonapeptide consisting of a six-amino-acid ring with a cysteine 1 to cysteine 6 disulfide bridge or an octapeptide containing a CYSTINE. All mammals have arginine vasopressin except the pig with a lysine at position 8. Vasopressin, a vasoconstrictor, acts on the KIDNEY COLLECTING DUCTS to increase water reabsorption, increase blood volume and blood pressure.
