Effects of cimetidine and pirenzepine on peroperative electrical vagal stimulation of gastric acid secretion. 1980

Atropine and an eightfold greater amount of pirenzepine inhibit pentagastrin-stimulated secretion to nearly the same extent (70-75%). Neither drug influences acid concentrations markedly (18%). Atropine and pirenzepine decrease the potassium concentration of gastric juice. By increasing electrical vagal stimulation the inhibitory effect of cimetidine decreases. In contrast, inhibition of vagally stimulated secretion by pirenzepine or by atropine averages 45%, when vagally stimulated secretion amounts to more than 50% of the pentagastrin-stimulated secretion. Thus pirenzepine inhibits gastric secretion similarly to atropine. These results support the hypothesis of a histamine and a cholinergic receptor.

D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D010418 Pentagastrin A synthetic pentapeptide that has effects like gastrin when given parenterally. It stimulates the secretion of gastric acid, pepsin, and intrinsic factor, and has been used as a diagnostic aid. Acignost,Gastrin Pentapeptide,Peptavlon,Pentapeptide, Gastrin
D010879 Piperazines Compounds that are derived from PIPERAZINE.
D010890 Pirenzepine An antimuscarinic agent that inhibits gastric secretion at lower doses than are required to affect gastrointestinal motility, salivary, central nervous system, cardiovascular, ocular, and urinary function. It promotes the healing of duodenal ulcers and due to its cytoprotective action is beneficial in the prevention of duodenal ulcer recurrence. It also potentiates the effect of other antiulcer agents such as CIMETIDINE and RANITIDINE. It is generally well tolerated by patients.
