Ba++ as a gastric stimulant: release of histamine
Abstract
Ba++ added to the serosal solution bathing a resting frog stomach increased transmucosal resistance and induced acid secretion. The increase in acid secretion was associated with an increased leak of histamine from the mucosa into the serosal solution. Pretreatment with burimamide inhibited the secretory response to Ba++. After a pulse treatment with Ba++ (2 mM for 5 min), the effects on resistance were transient but the effects on acid …
