Effect of propranolol on gastric acid secretion in rats. 1972

I E Danhof, and A Geumei

The effect of propranolol, a beta-adrenoceptor blocking agent, has been investigated on gastric acid secretion in pylorus and cardiac-ligated rats. Compared to the control group, propranolol significantly diminished the gastric acid secretion, and inhibited the formation of gastric ulceration.

D012636	Secretory Rate	The amount of a substance secreted by cells or by a specific organ or organism over a given period of time; usually applies to those substances which are formed by glandular tissues and are released by them into biological fluids, e.g., secretory rate of corticosteroids by the adrenal cortex, secretory rate of gastric acid by the gastric mucosa.
