Intracisternal or intracerebroventricular injection of TRH (0.1-10 micrograms) in rats stimulated the secretion of gastric acid and pepsin secretion, increased gastric mucosal blood flow and gastric contractility and emptying, induced gastric hemorrhagic lesions and aggravated experimental ulcers elicited by aspirin, serotonin or indomethacin. TRH action was dose-dependent, rapid in onset and central nervous system-mediated by activation of the parasympathetic outflow to the stomach and cholinergic receptors. The stable TRH analog, RX 77368, was more potent and longer lasting than TRH. TRH and its stable analog appear as new chemical probes to produce centrally-mediated vagal-dependent stimulation of gastric function and experimental ulcers. The physiologic role of endogenous TRH in the central regulation of gastric function and ulceration remains to be established.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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
D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon

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.

D013276 Stomach Ulcer Ulceration of the GASTRIC MUCOSA due to contact with GASTRIC JUICE. It is often associated with HELICOBACTER PYLORI infection or consumption of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS).

D013973 Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone A tripeptide that stimulates the release of THYROTROPIN and PROLACTIN. It is synthesized by the neurons in the PARAVENTRICULAR NUCLEUS of the HYPOTHALAMUS. After being released into the pituitary portal circulation, TRH (was called TRF) stimulates the release of TSH and PRL from the ANTERIOR PITUITARY GLAND.
