Popis: The effect of bombesin on acid and pepsin secretion and antral motility was compared to that of pentagastrin in conscious cats. Bombesin stimulated acid secretion to 65% of the maximal response to pentagastrin but induced a stronger pepsin secretion than any dose of pentagastrin. As to antral motility, bombesin first induced an effect comparable to that of pentagastrin, with an increase of low-amplitude and a decrease of high-amplitude contractions. After about 30 min of continuous infusion, the effect of bombesin changed with a return to basal frequency for the low-amplitude contractions and an increase of high-amplitude contractions. This effect was not observed with pentagastrin nor cholecystokinin and was not explained by the variations of plasma insulin concentration.
