The physiological relevance of cholecystokinin (CCK) in gastric pepsin secretion is unclear, although CCK has been reported to stimulate pepsin secretion in intact animals and in dispersed chief cell. To clarify the physiological role played by this peptide in pepsin secretion, we determined the effects of intravenous infusions of CCK on gastric pepsin release, and investigated the effect of endogenous CCK released by small amounts of trypsin inhibitor on pepsin secretion in conscious rats. The infusion of CCK-8 at 1 nmol/kg per h resulted in a plasma CCK concentration of 204 pM and a 2.5-fold increase in pepsin secretion compared to the baseline rate. The infusion of CCK-8 at 0.3 nmol/kg per h resulted in a plasma CCK concentration of 41.8 pM and also caused a significant increase in pepsin secretion compared to the baseline rate. However, the infusion of CCK-8 at 0.1 nmol/kg per h (plasma CCK level, 19.9 pM), which is still far beyond the physiological plasma levels of CCK, did not significantly affect pepsin secretion. In addition, the intraduodenal infusion of soybean trypsin inhibitor increased the plasma CCK concentration to 4.4 pM, a value comparable to that observed after feeding (3.3 pM), but again, this had no effect on gastric pepsin secretion. We conclude that CCK is not a physiological regulator of gastric pepsin secretion in rats.

D007262	Infusions, Intravenous	The long-term (minutes to hours) administration of a fluid into the vein through venipuncture, either by letting the fluid flow by gravity or by pumping it.

D008297	Male		Males
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
D002766	Cholecystokinin	A peptide, of about 33 amino acids, secreted by the upper INTESTINAL MUCOSA and also found in the central nervous system. It causes gallbladder contraction, release of pancreatic exocrine (or digestive) enzymes, and affects other gastrointestinal functions. Cholecystokinin may be the mediator of satiety.

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
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.

D012844	Sincalide	An octapeptide hormone present in the intestine and brain. When secreted from the gastric mucosa, it stimulates the release of bile from the gallbladder and digestive enzymes from the pancreas.
