To examine the effects of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) on gastric secretion, the present study was carried out using pylorus-ligated rats. Intracisternally injected bFGF inhibited the secretion of both gastric acid and pepsin, and this gastric antisecretory action of bFGF was a dose-related response. On the other hand, the intraperitoneal injection of bFGF did not change gastric secretion. These results strongly suggested for the first time that bFGF, a growth factor that promotes the proliferation of various cell types, might also be a chemical messenger that is involved in the central regulation of gastric secretion. This biological action of bFGF may be considered as a novel nonmitogenic activity of this growth factor.

D010434 Pepsin A Formed from pig pepsinogen by cleavage of one peptide bond. The enzyme is a single polypeptide chain and is inhibited by methyl 2-diaazoacetamidohexanoate. It cleaves peptides preferentially at the carbonyl linkages of phenylalanine or leucine and acts as the principal digestive enzyme of gastric juice. Pepsin,Pepsin 1,Pepsin 3
