Effect of one-month treatment with cimetidine on gastric secretion and serum gastrin and pepsinogen levels. 1978

K F Sewing, and L Hagie, and A F Ippoliti, and J I Isenberg, and I M Samloff, and R A Sturdevant

The inhibitory effects of cimetidine on gastric acid and pepsin secretion were studied before and after 1 month of treatment with 300 mg of cimetidine four times a day in 15 male duodenal ulcer patients. Cimetidine inhibited both pentagastrin- and peptone meal-stimulated acid secretion significantly better before, than after, 1 month of treatment. Similarly cimetidine inhibited pentagastrin-stimulated pepsin secretion significantly better before treatment. Meal-stimulated serum gastrin concentrations were significantly higher after treatment. The mechanism(s) of these effects was not apparent.

D010435 Pepsinogens Proenzymes secreted by chief cells, mucous neck cells, and pyloric gland cells, which are converted into pepsin in the presence of gastric acid or pepsin itself. (Dorland, 28th ed) In humans there are 2 related pepsinogen systems: PEPSINOGEN A (formerly pepsinogen I or pepsinogen) and PEPSINOGEN C (formerly pepsinogen II or progastricsin). Pepsinogen B is the name of a pepsinogen from pigs. Pepsinogen B
D002927 Cimetidine A histamine congener, it competitively inhibits HISTAMINE binding to HISTAMINE H2 RECEPTORS. Cimetidine has a range of pharmacological actions. It inhibits GASTRIC ACID secretion, as well as PEPSIN and GASTRIN output.

D005750 Gastric Juice The liquid secretion of the stomach mucosa consisting of hydrochloric acid (GASTRIC ACID); PEPSINOGENS; INTRINSIC FACTOR; GASTRIN; MUCUS; and the bicarbonate ion (BICARBONATES).

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.

D005755 Gastrins A family of gastrointestinal peptide hormones that excite the secretion of GASTRIC JUICE. They may also occur in the central nervous system where they are presumed to be neurotransmitters. Gastrin
D006146 Guanidines A family of iminourea derivatives. The parent compound has been isolated from mushrooms, corn germ, rice hulls, mussels, earthworms, and turnip juice. Derivatives may have antiviral and antifungal properties.
