ABSTRACT
The effect of bombesin (BBS) and gastrin releasing peptide (GRP) on gastric emptying was studied in conscious cats. This effect was measured simultaneously with antral motility. Acid and pepsin secretions as well as blood hormonal peptide release were additionally measured. A dual effect was observed. First, BBS and GRP slowed gastric emptying of liquids, while antral motility was decreased, then after 60 minutes of continuous intravenous infusion, antral motility returned to basal values and gastric emptying effect reversed. The mechanism of this peculiar action is independent of gastrin, pancreatic polypeptide, somatostatin and motilin release and most probably connected with a cholinergic stimulation induced by the peptides, the late predominance of which counterbalances the inhibitory effect of bombesin-like peptides on antral motility.
