Popis: The aim of this work was to compare the action of gastrointestinal (GI) hormones on the myoelectrical activity of the sphincter of Oddi. Using an experimental design previously described, we studied the electrical activity of the sphincter of Oddi and compared the percentage variation in the number of spikes before and after injection of hormones. Increasing doses of the following hormones were injected i.v. at random: CCK, OP-CCK, caerulein, bombesin, gastrin, secretin and glucagon. CCK and caerulein (as previously found), and also bombesin, OP-CCK and gastrin increased the spikes activity of the sphincter of Oddi. Secretin had no effect and glucagon decreased this activity. There was no tachyphylaxis, but a good dose-effect relationship for each hormone. Compared on a molar basis caerulein is 8 times more effective than CCK and OP-CCK which in turn are more potent than bombesin. Gastrin acts only at pharmacological doses.
