Abstract

The influence of adenosine 5'-triphosphate on gastric acid secretion stimulated by histamine, carbachol, dibutyryl-cAMP and the phosphodiesterase inhibitors 8-phenyl-theophylline and rolipram in isolated rabbit gastric glands was studied. Changes oi gastric acid secretion were measured by the aminopyrine accumulation method. Histamine-stimulated acid secretion was significantly inhibited by ATP 1 mM, whereas the secretory responses elicited by carbachol, dibutyryl-cAMP, 8-phenyl-theophylline or rolipram were not. Assays with indomethacin, a well known prostaglandin synthesis inhibitor, showed that this agent significantly reduced the inhibitory effect of ATP on histamine responses. The results indicate that the antisecretory effect of ATP was specific for histamine and that it was mediated, at least in part, via stimulation of endogenous prostaglandin production.
