Pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) is present in gastric nerves, and PACAP receptors (PAC1) are found on gastric enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells. Expression of PAC1 splice… (More)
New methods are described by which the buffer content and the rate and pattern of net gastric acid secretion in human subjects fed normal meals can be measured by use of sodium bicarbonate infusion… (More)
Gastrin, produced by G cells in the gastric antrum, has been identified as the circulating hormone responsible for stimulation of acid secretion from the parietal cell. Gastrin also acts as a potent… (More)

We synthesized PYY-(1-36) (nonselective between Y(1) and Y(2) receptor subtype agonists), [Pro(34)]PYY (selective for Y(1)), and PYY-(3-36) (selective for Y(2)) to determine whether solution… (More)
Antimicrobial therapy against H. pylori is indicated for all patients with documented peptic ulcer disease who have evidence of the infection. The regimen of first choice, selected on the basis of… (More)
The purpose of this study was to determine whether selective antagonism of type "A" cholecystokinin (CCK) receptors blocks inhibition of gastric acid secretion produced by CCK and whether this… (More)
Amino acids and peptides release gastrin and stimulate gastric acid secretion. However, the relation between gastrin release and acid secretory response is unclear. An isotonic mixed amino acid… (More)
These experiments were performed to determine the importance of cephalic-vagal stimulation in the acid secretory response to eating in normal human subjects. Cephalic stimulation was induced by a… (More)
Acid-stimulating action and clearance of pure natural human big gastriin (HG-34-I) and little gastrin (HG-17-I) were assessed in four male subjects with inactive duodenal ulcer (DU) disease.… (More)
