Inhibitory effect of cimetidine on gastric acid secretion vagally activated by physiological means in duodenal ulcer patients.

چکیده
Vagal activation of gastric acid secretion by modified sham feeding in six patients with duodenal ulcer produced a peak acid response amounting to 52% of the peak acid output after pentagastrin stimulation (PAOpg). Cholinergic reflex stimulation of gastric acid secretion by fundic distension in another six patients with duodenal ulcer produced a peak acid response of 45% of PAOpg. Intravenous infusion of cimetidine in a dose of 100 mg/h markedly inhibited the acid sham feeding response by 90-100% and almost abolished the acid response to fundic distension. The results suggest that gastric acid secretion evoked by physiological vagal activation in man is profoundly inhibited by H2-receptor blocking agents.

Effects of transdermal scopolamine, alone or in combination with cimetidine, on total 24 hour gastric acid secretion in patients with duodenal ulcer.
Transdermal scopolamine is an antimuscarinic preparation approved for use in the United States for prevention of motion sickness. A recent study using this drug (0.5 mg/patch) suggested that enough scopolamine was absorbed through the skin to reduce basal gastric acid secretion in patients with duodenal ulcer. We have compared the effect of transdermal scopolamine and oral cimetidine (400 mg tw...
متن کاملAntisecretory activity of pirenzepine versus cimetidine in man: a controlled study.
Antisecretory effect of single oral therapeutic doses of pirenzepine (25 mg and 50 mg) and cimetidine (200 mg and 400 mg) was studied in 12 patients with duodenal ulcer. Gastric secretion was studied in basal condition and after stimulation with pentagastrin. Basal, maximum and peak acid output, basal and maximum acidity, and basal and maximum volume were calculated after computerised correctio...
متن کاملEffect of prolonged cimetidine therapy on gastric acid secretion in man.
In a double blind trial, 23 patients with endoscopically confirmed duodenal ulceration received cimetidine (300 mg four times daily in six patients, or 400 mg four times daily in 10 patients) or placebo (seven patients) for six weeks. Before entry into the trial, pentagastrin (6 microgram.kg-1.h-1)--stimulated gastric acid secretion after a single oral dose of 300 or 400 mg cimetidine was lower...
متن کاملInhibition of gastric secretion in man by intestinal fat infusion.
The rate of gastric secretion probably depends upon a balance between secretory and inhibitory stimuli; increase of the former or decrease of the latter may lead to excessive acid production (Thompson, 1962). As a possible cause of duodenal ulcer more attention has hitherto been given to increased excitatory than to impaired inhibitory mechanisms. Inhibitory processes originating in the duodenu...
متن کاملComparison of ranitidine and cimetidine in the inhibition of histamine, sham-feeding, and meal-induced gastric secretion in duodenal ulcer patients.
The effects of ranitidine, a new H2-receptor antagonist which does not contain an imidazole ring, and cimetidine have been determined on histamine, meal-induced gastric acid secretion, and serum gastrin levels in duodenal ulcer patients. Compared with cimetidine, ranitidine was found to be about eight times more potent an inhibitor of histamine-induced secretion and four to five times more pote...
