The mechanism by which acid in the duodenum inhibits proximal gastric motor function and delays emptying was investigated in urethan-anesthetized and awake rats. Gastric motility inhibited by duodenal acid (0.2 N HCl) in urethan-anesthetized rats was attenuated by 68 and 54%, respectively, by functional ablation of the vagal or spinal sensory innervation with capsaicin. 5-Hydroxytryptamine3 receptor blockade with zacopride (0.2 mg/kg ip) or cholecystokinin (CCK)-A-type receptor blockade with MK-329 (1 mg/kg ip) had no effect on the motility response to acid. In awake rats with chronically implanted gastric and duodenal cannulas, perfusion of the duodenum with acid (0.1 and 0.2 N HCl) inhibited gastric emptying of a nonnutrient liquid (38 and 59%, respectively). Blockade of CCK-A-type receptors reduced by 30% inhibition of gastric emptying induced by 0.1 N HCl. However, functional ablation of the vagal or spinal sensory innervation, 5-hydroxytryptamine3 receptor blockade, or immunoneutralization of secretin by systemic administration of a polyclonal antibody (no. 7842, 1 ml ip) had no effect on acid-induced (0.1 N HCl) inhibition of gastric emptying. Perfusion of the duodenum with 0.2 N HCl but not 0.1 N HCl inhibited proximal gastric motility in awake rats. These results suggest that 1) a duodenal acid load inhibits gastric emptying in part by a mechanism involving CCK and 2) decreased proximal gastric motility plays a minor role in inhibition of gastric emptying in response to acid.

1. 5-HT inhibits spontaneous fluid secretion as well as stimulated secretion with secretin (cAMP mediated) or ACh (Ca2+ mediated) in the isolated guinea pig pancreatic ducts. 2. The inhibitory effect of 5-HT is reversible and is dependent on the concentration in the range 0.01-0.1 microM, which is much lower than those that affect intestinal motility and secretion. 3. The 5-HT3 receptor in duct cells appears to mediate the inhibitory effect of 5-HT. 4. [Ca2+]i is unlikely to mediate the inhibitory effect of 5-HT.
