Abstract
Rat amylin subcutaneously injected into rats dose-dependently inhibits pentagastrin-stimulated gastric acid secretion and protects the stomach from ethanol-induced gastritis. The ED50s for these actions (0.050 and 0.036 microg, respectively) are the lowest for any dose-dependent effect of amylin thus far described, and their similar potencies are consistent with a mechanistic (causal) association. At higher amylin doses, inhibition of gastric acid secretion was almost complete (93.4%). Gastric injury (measured by a subjective analog scale) was inhibited by up to 67%. The observation that effective doses of amylin result in plasma concentrations of 7-10 pM (i.e., within the reported range; Pieber et al., 1994) supports the interpretation that inhibition of gastric acid secretion and maintenance of gastric mucosal integrity are physiological actions of endogenous amylin. The pharmacology of these responses fits with one mediated via amylin-like receptors. Rat amylin inhibited CCK-stimulated secretion of pancreatic enzymes,amylase, and lipase by up to approximately 60% without having significant effect in the absence of CCK. ED50s for the effect were in the 0.1-0.2 microg range, calculated to produce plasma amylin excursions within the physiological range. Effects of informative ligands are consistent with the concept of amylin receptor mediation. Amylin was effective in ameliorating the severity of pancreatitis in a rodent model. The amylin analog pramlintide inhibited gallbladder emptying in mice as measured by total weight of acutely excised gallbladders. Amylin inhibition of gastric acid secretion, pancreatic enzyme secretion, and bile secretion likely represents part of an orchestrated control of nutrient appearance. Modulation of digestive function fits with a general role of amylin in regulating nutrient uptake. Rate of ingestion, rate of release from the stomach, and rate of digestion of various food groups appear to be under coordinate control.

Abstract
The recently synthesized calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) antagonist, human alpha-CGRP 8-37, was used to study its effects on gastric acid secretion. Four dogs with gastric fistula were used to measure the antagonist's physiologic effects in the stomach. All dogs received a bactopeptone dextrose meal (intragastric titration to pH 5.5) with either continuous CGRP 8-37 (1000 pmol/kg/hr) or saline (control). Additionally, intravenous bombesin (75-600 ng/kg/hr) and bethanechol (12.5-100 micrograms/kg/hr) was tested in the presence of the antagonist. Plasma gastrin levels also were measured via radioimmunoassay (RIA) in control and CGRP 8-37-stimulated animals. Gastric acid secretion increased by 100% with infusion of 1000 pmol/kg/hr CGRP 8-37 when compared to the control. Acid output increased 98% with both intravenous antagonist and 600 ng/kg/hr bombesin when compared to bombesin alone. However, no augmentation of acid secretion by CGRP 8-37 was shown with 25 micrograms/kg/hr bethanechol. RIA of plasma gastrin demonstrated no effect with the antagonist when given alone and did not increase bombesin-stimulated gastrin release. We conclude that CGRP 8-37 blocks native CGRP inhibitory effects on gastric acid secretion. Our findings of potentiation of acid secretion by bombesin as well as no change in gastrin levels in the presence of the antagonist is likely due to a blockage in a noncholinergic neuron to the somatostatin cell. Furthermore, CGRP 8-37 did not increase bethanechol-stimulated acid secretion, most likely due to bethanechol's (acetylcholine) nearly ubiquitous positive effects on acid secretion.

Abstract
A central action of CGRP to inhibit gastric acid secretion, demonstrated in rats and dogs, is mediated at least in rats through modulation of parasympathetic outflow to the stomach. The centrally mediated protective effects of CGRP against ethanol-induced lesions is unique to this peptide and not shared by other centrally acting inhibitors of gastric function. It may be related to the increase in gastric mucosal blood flow induced by central CGRP. The presence of CGRP-like immunoreactivity and receptors in medullary nuclei receiving visceral information and influencing vagal outflow suggests a possible role of the peptide in the central regulation of gastric function. Peripheral injection of CGRP is well established to inhibit acid secretion in rats, dogs, rabbits, and humans. Its antisecretory effect is unlikely to be related to a direct action on the parietal cells. It involves specific and marked release of gastric somatostatin through an interaction with CGRP receptors characterized on D cells and coupled with cAMP. In addition, CGRP induces a decrease in acetylcholine transmission in the enteric nervous system, which may contribute to the inhibition of acid. The rich innervation of the stomach with CGRP-like immunoreactivity, which forms the major component of gastric sensory fibers, along with peptide release by sensory stimulation and potent actions on gastric secretions suggests a role of the peptide in the regulation of gastric function.

Abstract
CGRP exerts a potent central action to inhibit gastric acid secretion in rats and dogs and gastric emptying, contractility and ulcer formation in rats. The site of action to inhibit acid secretion has been localized in the dorsal vagal complex. The inhibition of acid secretion is related primarily to the decrease in vagal efferent activity whereas the inhibition of gastric motor functions involves increases in sympathetic outflow. The central action of CGRP to prevent ethanol-induced lesions is unique to this peptide and not shared by other centrally acting inhibitors of gastric function. It may be related to the increase in gastric mucosal blood induced by central CGRP. The presence of CGRP-like immunoreactivity and receptors in medullary nuclei receiving visceral information and influencing vagal outflow suggests a possible role of the peptide in the vagal regulation of gastric secretion. Peripheral injection of CGRP also inhibits acid secretion when administered peripherally in rats, dogs, rabbits and humans. Its antisecretory effect is unlikely to be related to a direct action on the parietal cells. It involves specific and marked release of gastric somatostatin through an interaction with CGRP receptors characterized on D cells and coupled with cAMP. In addition, CGRP induces a decrease in acetylcholine transmission in the enteric nervous system which may contribute to the inhibition of acid. Peripheral CGRP inhibits gastric emptying and motility by a direct action on smooth muscles through receptors linked with cAMP. The release of CGRP from spinal afferents innervating the stomach in response to stimulation of capsaicin-sensitive fibers suggests a role of the peptide in the regulation of gastric function.

Abstract
Proximal duodenal bicarbonate secretion is an important factor in humans and animals protecting the mucosa against acid-peptic damage. This study examined the mechanisms responsible for the central nervous system regulation of duodenal bicarbonate secretion by calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in unrestrained rats. Cerebroventricular administration of rat CGRP significantly inhibited basal duodenal bicarbonate secretion as well as the stimulatory effects of vasoactive intestinal peptide, neurotensin, a luminal PGE1 analogue, misoprostol, and hydrochloric acid. The inhibitory effects of cerebroventricular CGRP were abolished by ganglionic blockade with chlorisondamine, significantly attenuated by noradrenergic blockade with bretylium, and enhanced by vagotomy. Inhibition of duodenal bicarbonate secretion induced by CGRP coincided with significant increases in plasma norepinephrine (NE) and vasopressin concentrations. The alpha adrenergic receptor antagonist, phentolamine, and the vasopressin V1 receptor antagonist, (1-deaminopenicillamine, 2-[O-methyl]Tyr, 8-Arg)-vasopressin, given intravenously reversed the central inhibitory effect of CGRP by approximately 50% each. Pretreatment of the animals with both phentolamine and the vasopressin antagonist completely abolished the central inhibitory effect of CGRP. Peripheral vasopressin and NE significantly decreased duodenal bicarbonate secretion, and their inhibitory effects were additive and prevented by phentolamine and the vasopressin antagonist, respectively. We conclude that cerebroventricular CGRP inhibits rat duodenal bicarbonate secretion by activation of sympathetic efferents and subsequent release of NE and vasopressin that act on alpha adrenergic and vasopressin receptors, respectively.

Abstract
Abstract Several peptides have been implicated as central nervous system transmitters regulating various peripheral organ systems. This study examined the central nervous system effects of rat corticotrophin-releasing factor (CRF), salmon calcitonin (CT), beta-endorphin (beta-End), neurotensin (NT), rat calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and bombesin (BOM) on gastric acid secretion, gastric emptying and left gastric artery flow in conscious dogs. All of these peptides, injected into the third cerebral ventricle, significantly inhibited gastric acid secretion but not plasma gastrin concentrations stimulated by a liquid protein meal. Ganglionic blockade with chlorisondamine abolished the gastric inhibitory action of CRF, CT, beta-End and NT but not of CGRP and BOM. Truncal, subdiaphragmatic vagotomy prevented the gastric inhibitory actions of beta-End and NT only, while bilateral adrenalectomy did not affect gastric acid inhibition induced by any of the six peptides. Cerebroventricular administration of CRF, NT and BOM significantly delayed gastric emptying of the protein meal while beta-End, CT and CGRP were not effective. Only BOM significantly increased left gastric artery flow. These results indicate that various neuropeptides alter gastric functions in a differentiated fashion and via distinct pathways. CRF and CT inhibit meal-stimulated gastric acid secretion by activation of sympathetic efferents. beta-End and NT inhibit meal-stimulated acid secretion by inhibition of vagal efferents while the pathways that mediate CT- and CGRP-induced gastric acid inhibition in the dog are unknown. Gastrin, the adrenal glands and changes in gastric emptying or blood flow do not play a role in mediating gastric acid inhibition produced by Cerebroventricular administration of CRF, CT, beta-End, NT, CGRP and BOM.

Abstract
Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopic studies on the alpha form of human calcitonin gene-related peptide (alpha-hCGRP) indicate that, in aqueous solution at 4 degrees C, there is some alpha-helical structure present. This helix involves 8-10 residues of the 28 amino acid, C-terminal tail. The alpha helix is destabilized by denaturants such as guanidinium hydrochloride and increased temperature and is stabilized by the addition of anionic detergents, such as sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS). In the presence of SDS and 33% trifluoroethanol, nearly all of the residues in the C-terminal tail are in the alpha-helical conformation. These studies indicate that there is sufficient helical structure in aqueous solution to suggest that formation of an amphiphilic helix in the C-terminal tail of alpha-CGRP may be physiologically relevant.

Abstract
Calcitonin gene-related peptide-alpha (CGRP alpha) is a putative neurotransmitter in the brain and in peripheral tissues. Quantitative receptor autoradiography was used to localize and quantify the distribution of specific binding sites for radiolabeled human CGRP alpha in the canine gastrointestinal tract. The canine gastrointestinal tract was chosen as a model since it is similar in both size and structure to the human gastrointestinal tract. In the stomach CGRP alpha binding sites were localized to smooth muscle cells in the muscularis mucosa and muscularis externa, the smooth muscle and endothelium of medium and small arteries, neurons in the myenteric plexus, mucosal epithelial cells and the germinal centers of lymph nodules. In the intestines, the prominent cells types expressing CGRP alpha receptors were myenteric neurons and the germinal centers of lymph nodules. Since previous studies have demonstrated that CGRP-containing sensory neurons innervate the muscularis externa in the stomach and since CGRP alpha receptors are expressed by smooth muscle cells in the muscularis externa, these results suggest that sensory neurons may directly regulate gastric motility by releasing CGRP. In correlation with previous physiological data, the present study suggests that CGRP is involved in the regulation of a variety of gastrointestinal functions including gastric motility, mucosal ion transport, hemodynamics, digestive enzyme secretion, neuronal excitability, and the inflammatory and immune response.

Abstract
The central nervous system action of rat alpha-calcitonin gene-related peptide (alpha-CGRP) on gastric emptying of a liquid, noncaloric, methylcellulose solution was assessed in 24-hr fasted, conscious rats using phenol red method as a marker. Intracisternal injection of alpha-CGRP (0.75-250 pmol) dose-dependently inhibited gastric emptying by 27-94% as measured 20 min after oral administration of the solution. The ED50 was 6.2 pmol. alpha-CGRP injected intravenously at 250 pmol delayed gastric emptying by 71% whereas a lower dose (75 pmol) was inactive. Intracisternal alpha-CGRP-induced inhibition of gastric emptying was completely abolished by bilateral adrenalectomy and partially suppressed by subdiaphragmatic vagotomy or coeliac/superior mesenteric ganglionectomy. Adrenalectomy or vagotomy in saline-treated animals did not significantly modify the rate of gastric emptying whereas coeliac/superior mesenteric ganglionectomy caused a significant 29% inhibition as compared to the nonoperated group. These results demonstrate that alpha-CGRP is a potent centrally acting inhibitor of gastric emptying of a nonnutrient liquid. The inhibitory effect of intracisternal injection of CGRP appears to be mediated by the adrenal gland and in part by the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system.

Abstract
The effect of calcitonin on intrapyloric pressure was examined in urethane-anesthetized rats. The intrapyloric pressure was decreased dose dependently by intravenous (i.v.) administration of 0.002-20 U of calcitonin. The calcitonin-induced decreased response was abolished after the severance of bilateral vagal nerves at the cervical level. Ongoing efferent activity of vagal gastric nerve branches was decreased by i.v. administration of calcitonin. On the contrary i.v. administration of calcitonin increased intrapyloric pressure via vagal nerves in atropinized or gallaminized animals. The contribution of the cholinergic excitatory and the non-cholinergic inhibitory vagal nerve fibers to the calcitonin-induced responses of intrapyloric pressure is discussed.
